The r7/hw30 are low power and believe to be good only for rats squirels and small birds up to 35yds, which would be a lucky shot for me that far out.
I don't care to brain shoot rabbits even as close as I can spit with such a low power airgun. For me rabbit/coon size critters deserve a bit more power from a 25cal airgun.
Airguns don't develope enough speed to deliever much in foot pounds so the way to go is caliber.
