Will this gun kills a rabbit at 100 yards??

I would say that 100yds is the maximum effective range of the gun. The pellets are much lighter than a .22 rimfire bullet therefore don't carry as much enegry and are more susceptible to cross winds. There are many pellet options available. Finding the right size and weight pellet may allow it to be effective at 100yds.

No problem at 50 yards. The .22 cal usually passes right through so you have to know your backstop. 100 yards starts to get pretty far out for real accuracy so hitting it well might be a trick.

You would probably need a better scope, give the included one to the kids to play pirates, but with the right pellet I believe it would. This gun punches holes in heavy metal cans with ease, however there are larger caliber air rifles.

I have used it at 100 yards and it works great. I haven't had to test it at longer range yet.

I can only speak for shooting at 100 yards. Haven't taken it past that, I have no range around me that offers 300 yards.

Just like with any small calibre firearm or bow shot placement is key. If you can place a kill shot on the rabbit i believe it will get the job done. If you're looking for a sure thing then i would recommend a .22 calibre gun. i believe the hornet is sold as .22, but i was unable to find it on amazon. hope this help you.

This air gun is reasonably accurate at 100 yds. I have mine sighted in at 50 yds. However, it may not have penetrating power enough to "kill" larger pests.

I think it can handle 308 at 100 yards...but I would not use it for that far away. The tab on the target is approximately 6 inches and would be very difficult to hit at that distance. Also I find that when I do use the target it never lands with a tab facing me. I have to rotate about 45 degrees each time I hit it to get another shot. The reset would be very frustrating at 100 yards having to walk out after each shot to reset the target.

50 yards is a long ways for any pellet gun. If you practice holdovers for that range you could keep it on paper. I wouldn't use it on critters at that range. A humane kill should be precise.

Please don,t use this rifle on any animal. It has enough power to wound or kill.

I've shot squirrels and coons with .22 at 35 to 40 yards and killed both with a single shot. I've also had long shooting sessions (over 100 rds) with out experiencing anything other than a tired arm!

yes just depends which pellet you use and where you hitting the rabbit but i suggest getting the .22 to make sure to kill the rabbit fast and quick death

I would fire at 100 yards, Michael. But I have been bore sighting my firearms for years and I have had good success. Try it at at 50, see where you hit, then move accordingly. Happy shooting!

These pellet guns will kill a man let alone a rabbit. I had a shot with Crossman express pellets go through a bird from the rump to the neck. The pellet traveled a full 5 inches through that bird. I carry mine when I hike, in case a run into a mountain lion. Anything over 1100 fps is faster than the speed of sound, so you get a sonic boom with the prioritized ammo. I used heavy grain lead pellets which drop my shots below the speed of sound - then it sounds like a regular bb gun. That said these weapons are still more powerful than anything I had as a kid, and as I said they will kill you. Note, the brain shot on a rabbit is between the eye and the ear. You hit a rabbit there and they die every time. These pellet guns will kill a man let alone a rabbit. I had a shot with Crossman express pellets go through a bird from the rump to the neck.

DARYL...I have not tried shooting my 22Mr at 100 yards yet using my Barska scope, but I have heard that other shooters have and they have been pleased with the results.

Yes, I put a ten dollar scope from Walmart on mine, and use good pellets and I've killed a ton of squirrels, rabbits, birds and even a possum with mine. Needs a good cleaning before sighting in though. The pellets it comes with are useless, and half of them are deformed beyond use. I would suggest ordering some good ones with the rifle

Not powerful enough, the animal would suffer. This gun is only good for target practice.

It is my opinion that the NP XL is not the right rifle for your situation if "50x50" is feet, not yards. The high power of this gun lends itself for hunting rabbits or squirrels at 60 to 100 feet, even beyond if you are a really good shooter. It appears that your application involves plinking and target shooting at up to 50 feet. You will be much better off with a .177 rifle that is a lot quieter than the powerful NP XL, and much easier to cock. For a backyard your size this gun is overkill and it will alert your neighbors, and fatigue you quickly.

It can kill a rat @ 15 yards.Does that work for you?Oh yeah,make sure to use hollow point ammo.
