"No worries Tone, give me a ring and we will set it up. What gear have you got?"
I havent got any yet I say
"Good cause I got shit loads from stinky to gold plated. You can work out what is best for your needs. Here is my card"

Well, I dont think I get anymore fortunate that that.

Well you've landed on your feet there Tone, professional advice and at your doorstep.
The only problem I would forsee rabbit shooting with the 105gr, is to shoot to 400+ you'll need a turret scope and a good proven drop chart.
The 87gr vmax etc will be faster and flatter, a little more forgiving if holdover is the method used.
