Low-Recoil Coyote Rifle for Mother

[Gibbs505]

22-250, my wife is a little one and she enjoys shooting it.

I would agree, with a heavy barrel in a solid stock with a good scope. Fast and accurate and the yotes won't know what hit them!!

Just about anything that would normally be considered a coyote rifle would be pretty light recoiling. CZ offers the 527 in a number of configurations and suitable chamberings. I'm quite satisfied with my walnut stocked 527 Varmint in .223.

I've also got one in .204 Ruger. Beautiful gun and a beautiful round.

IMO this is perfect, no recoil, 10rds on hand, adjustable stock

Ruger M77 compact in .223, 12.5" LOP, 16.5" barrel, 6.25 lbs.

Ruger 77/22 in .22mag

Or what about an SKS or CZ858, are they accurate enough with quality hunting ammo.

I would suggest a ruger mini 14 in .223, the new ones are supposed to be quite accurate. Thats if you want to spend that much.

this is the one you want ,if she misses the first shot there are still 4 left for rapid fire and if she want's to sell it later on, they have great resale value if you get a stainless one

Why is there not a 7415? Now that might be perfect.

Any scoped bolt gun in .223 works just fine. Here's a real beauty:

I'd have to vote for the CZ in .223 too, or any other bolt gun. I think some guys are forgetting that this gun is for a lady. They like pretty things, and maybe a semi would be overly complicated while being too heavy.

The OP already stated that the gun won't be going off the porch, so more weight is better in this situation, to mitigate all recoil.

No need for a compact rifle, they'll only heat up quicker and be a lot louder...

Yep. Also love my CZ 527 American in .204. A pleasure to carry and shoot.

Exactly the first things that jumped into my mind.

Second was a lever action in a pistol calibre with a low power scope.

How about taking your Mother shopping to find one that fits her. Though I will suggest the Mini-14T with the Hogue overmould stock and a coach gun in 20 gauge in case the coyote is wayyyy to close. I really like the feel of the stock. Then let us know how you made out.

Taking a trip to Epps very soon, i've definately taken pointers from this thread. My dad wants to use the rifle also so the calibre may be making a jump to a .243

Take a look at a Browning X-Bolt in .243 or .223 while you're there. I've handled a few and like them. The action is nice and smooth and I really like the X-lock system they have for mounting optics.

Nothing wrong with that idea, but, you don't want to buy a rifle for your Dad and let her use it. Buy the rifle for your mother. Get something in a youth stock for her, it will probably fit her much better. Then, if your Dad wants to use it, he will need a slip-on recoil pad or something else to make up the difference in stock length unless he is short as well. Just my 2 cents.

.204 Ruger. Virtually no recoil worth speaking of.
