I got the mag shortened to 9rounds

I run three dedicated rabbit rigs though the Unique is semi retired and only taken out for the odd walk on warm summer evening..... still deadly .

Marlin 917 in 17 HMR , accurate workhorse that runs better dirty than clean and isn't to heavy to carry to a spot and start carnage.
Unique , french semi auto, amazing little rifle, very very reliable ( 700 - 800 rounds before a jam ) and accurate.
Ruger 10 /22 , tweeted by Gundoc and despite my cynicism turned out to be a tack driver and a great tool capable of a high work rate.

I have had a lot of other stuff over the years but after many many rifles for rabbits I have distilled down to these three.

Here's my couple of rimfire bunny rigs

First the Savage 93r17 BTVS, this things is responsible for popping off aloooot of bunnies

And the CZ 452. This thing has also got it fair share of bunnies but TBH it really excels knocking off maggies and plovers

Not yet, have done pen spring mod, it's serviceable. I'll get a trigger kit when all the permit/nzpost shit settles down as no one in NZ has any trigger kits in stock.

Had the CZ 452 American in 22lr out tonight. It has a synthetic stock off a silhouette model on it to keep the timber stock mint.

First time I've had the 22lr out for a while since getting the 17 Hornet.

The 22 with subs was the silent assassin this arvo tho and that's what this property called for.
