Air rifle for rabbiting

Hi all,

Complete beginner here

I'm interested in getting an air rifle to get into hunting rabbits and
such like. I've looked around and it looks like a BSA Lightning XL might
be the way to go. Is that a good choice and does anyone know where I can
get a deal on one (I guess a kit including a scope and bag would be a
good idea!).

A friend of a relative of a friend is a farmer with a large rabbit
problem so that issue is sorted already

What shooting accuracy should I reach before venturing out for the first
time?

Thanks,

Peter.
