is a 410 a  good gun to hunt rabbit with because i went with my cousin rabbit hunting but were using 22 rifles

A 410 should work fine for rabbits.  You just have to hold on them a little better than you might with a larger shotgun.
 
Good luck,

.22 rifles are good too, you just gotta catch them before they start running or bring alot of shells.

;) Welcome Hunter, I have a winchester model 94-410, 2 1/2 shell cyl bore,ck    outside of squirrel, I've never used it on anyother game, But like Daryl said you will have to hold on them some, After deer season's over I'll try mine on rabbit's and let you know how I do with my 410, be safe and good hunt'n:)

I loved my 410 I had on rabbits, it didn't do alot of damage, but the only hold back I remeber was the thick brush:confused: . The 410 just wasn't what I liked in the brush, but it was still good, just a prefence I have.:confused:  Be safe, and if you know the gun well enough it will be perfect. :cool:

A 410 will get em but a 20 or 12 gauge is a better gun for rabbits the first shotgun i had was a 410 and i killed probably hundreds of rabbits with it..that was back in the 30's and 40's when there were plenty of rabbits..i sold them at a bar and restuarant..they also bought all the coons i could get..

We can shoot 'em all year long in Arizona too, so it's not a southern thing to be late.
 
That said, it's been several years since I shot a rabbit.  Might have to make a hunt when it cools off some.  Daytime temps are still in the high 70's right now, and it hasn't been down below freezing at night yet.  Close a night or two, but not quite frozen.
