Ash,
I think my .22 Magnum needs re-sighting in. Then it too will get a good workout.
BTW one of the rabbits I shot in the head at about a hundred metres. It flung itself into the air at least a metre. I thought it might be nose shot. When I walked up to it, its head was 75% destroyed. Shows what their nerve reactions and muscle memory can do. Using a .22 RF I know I loose a fair number down burrows just like that. A forked stick put down the hole and twisted will get some of them back out.
The .22 Mag is a great little gun..use it a LOT here in Montana..all the way up to coyotes if they are close---100yds or less..kills them..
As to getting the rabbits out of the hole, have you tried twisting a length of barbed wire down the hole??.. we used to pull out wounded fox that way back home...
