    no not really mate but if you get a rabbit sitting tight at say 20-30 yrds a aim for the bottom of the head ie jaw line ive never been one for body shots dont like it and its not fair on the rabbit if you miss and just laim them nothing worse to see it hobble away atb mark

    My hw77k is also a .22 never took much fancy to the 177 if you've got to much power or to close they DO go strait through with out killing which is a bummer cos some times you think you are missing but .22 is better for fur which I shoot at up to 50 and some times a little further depending on wind but like I said zero my scope in to 40 yrds and iam happy atb mark
