Seriously dude it has accounted for HEAPS of possums - day & night. A well placed shot (head) they are dead before they hit the ground.

Haven't used it much for rabbits so not sure about max range.

As you know...often a shot at a possum is from close to the bottom of a tree so distance not more than say 30m, at this range a quality .22 air rifle is deadly on possums.

Good thing about the Stoeger's is the scope that comes with them is actually surprisingly good.

Get one you won't regret it.

I'm keeping mine for good, great for the young fella now and excellant for something in a cage trap

Good luck & post sum pictures !!

Yup I too can atest to the quality of the Stoeger I am using one to clean up starlings at my place and its an accurate little shooter alright, not bad trigger and not fussy on ammo my only critisism is that it's a heavy bastard for what it is but maybe I'm just spoilt being used to carrying lighter rifles
