What should i get for coyote hunting
M looking at getting a long range gun for coyotes. I just fine know what brand to get I have heard so much about all of them I dunno what do y'all think
|
I'm rather partial to the .243 Win. Mine does wonders with 70gr. bullets, either Ballistic Tips or TNT hollow points. However, even I must admit that pretty much anything between the .204 Ruger and the .25's will do just fine. The .223 and the .22-250 are probably the best choices for availability of both rifles and ammo.
|
22-250, .222, .223, and even a .243 are all good coyote guns within 400M.
What distances do you plan to shoot the dogs from? That will dictate what rifle would be best... |
100 to maybe 250 I just done know what brand to get hear alot about savage and then I hear alot about rem 700
|
Well I own 3 Remington 700 long guns and they are all fabulous. I used to own a Savage in .308 and I never had any complaints!
|
at the distances you stated, any of the calibers suggested. plus i will throw in my favorite coyote caliber of years past, the 25-06 with 100gr bullets. flat shooting, accurate, very little felt recoil and easy to reload for. another that you might consider that i like and IMO should be a good coyote round, the 7mm-08, again very accurate, low recoil and easy to reload. maybe someone else has used this round before on coyote's could lend their input as to it's effectiveness on them.

Look at a CZ527 in .223 Varminter. 1st class!

I have a older Remington model 700 chambered in 243 winchester and it is one of my favorite rifles. It shoots very accurately, much more accurate than myself.
