Nylon 66 with a scope. Long Rifles cost $.50 a box. I fed cattle in a pickup all winter. Rabbits would be sittin' in their hole weatherin' out the storm. They din't want to move. A feller could drive within 25 to 30 yards. Aim for the eye, one shot, one rabbit. I'd usually get half a dozen a day and sell them when I had a hundred.

Did the same kind of thing on Thurs afternoons during college. Kept me in beer money for four years.
Do you still have the Nylon 66? I still shoot mine on occasion. They are fun to shoot. Show one to the younger guys and they will spend their afternoon trying to figure how to load it.
