The grips are Ropers by Rod Herret (Herrett's Stocks). They are a well designed grip that really fits my hands well.
Another that I like quite a bit are Eagle Classics.
No secret to killing bunnies, just sight picture and trigger control. I find that it is both humbling and beneficial. I use a K22 model 17-something quite a bit as well but the big jacks barely even react when shot with .22lr usually unless you hit them in the head.
I really enjoy winter time hunting of the bunnies as it gets me out of the house, burns calories tromping through the snow and polishes up my handgunning skills.
What I don't understand is how you even see that many bunnies in one day, let alone shoot them. Takes quite a bit of patience (if you don't have a Beagle) where I've hunted cottontails to even see one rabbit. They are pretty cautious, especially after a round has been fired. Are rabbits that plentiful where you live?
It varies from area to area and I have some well guarded honey holes, but yes, we have lots of rabbits, it really depends on the conditions too. When it is brutal cold out it really gets them moving. You may drive through an area one day and kick up 5 or 6 rabbits all day, then when a cold snap hits you may see a couple hundred. It has been my experience that the colder it is, the better.
I conservatively estimate that the day after Christmas, when it was in the negative numbers we probably saw 300 to 400 rabbits. However they are cagey as heck on some days and hard to get close. Handgun hunting them is really challenging.
Of course when you are carrying a shotgun, they will stay out 60 or 80 yards and when you are carrying a .223 or .22lr rifle or something, they are under your feet and will not hardly run for ya. No matter what, you will be carrying the wrong gun. At least that is how it usually goes for me.
A good rifleman with a scoped AR can really clean up.
Frankly I just like the challenge of hunting them with my .44s.

The Tikka T3 in .308 Winchester is the Glock 19 of the rifle world.
