I've had 'em... never actually seen one long enough to get off a shot. I do use a .177 air rifle (RWS Diana) for rabbits. I'm none too happy with the results of the .177 pellets. Shot placement is *very* critical, and even a clean hit thru the heart & lungs will see your bunny making it a good distance on adrenaline before he collapses and croaks. I liked Dad's old 5mm Sheridan much better, that sucker would really spit 'em out. I picked up some subsonic .22 CB shorts that I think will be just the ticket out of a Remington 540XR.
In short - The air gun will do it, yes. If you can get a good shot off. I recommend a low power air gun scope.
