Lots of wicked pics on this thread!Stevens 200 properly rechambered by Bill Leeper to 223 Ackley, Karsten adjustable cheekpiece, 2 1/2-10X40 Elite 4200, using 40 gr Ballistic Tips at 3900 fps.
Easily gets the 75 gr A-Max to 3000, and that is awfully hard on wolves. I have a feeling it would make a decent deer load, as well.
Reaches out with either bullet as far as I can reliably hold in the field.

My coyote rig and I spent some time in woodchuck country this summer getting to know each other. Unfortunately no pics of that.
I built this last fall. It's a Wby Vanguard 6mm/284, Shaw bbl, Zeiss Conquest 3.5-10x44 Rapid-Z 600 glass, Timney trigger set at 1.75lbs, Axiom stock. Fires a 70gr SMK at 3950fps. Longest kill this summer on groundhog was 458yds.

Remington 700 SPS Varmint in .223 with Elite 3200 4-12x40 was what I figured I'd need.
But, I also have my Ruger M77 MkII in .204 with an Elite 3200 5-15x40. I use 32gr Vmax's in the .204 and they simply explode gophers. I'm reading about other guys using a 204 on 'yotes. Maybe I'll give it a whirl.
(No pics of the Reminton)
Heres the Ruger...

CZ 550 American
Here's my new coyote rifle. CZ 550 American .22-250 Rem / Zeiss Conquest 6.5-20x50mm AO MC Rapid-Z Varmint. Now waiting an order for a Timney trigger, a sling and maybe a three position safety later. Hopefully we'll get some snow and colder temp soon.

I bought myself a Christmas present , the newest coyote rig:
Kimber 84M in 257 Roberts, Leupold DD's and a Leupold VXIII 4.5-14x40. Even with the bigger scope and steel rings it comes in at 6 pounds 7 ounces as pictured. Only got a short break in the wind today but so far it shoots excellent. The real fine tuning will come in the next few days if the wind ever stops

I have some loads done up and ready to go using 75g V-MAX's but I am not going to waste them right now, have to wait until the wind stops. That could be a while as it has been blowing all of December.
Today between gusts I shot some Hornady 117g SST Superformance. The last three shots pretty much made the same hole at 100 yards so I am thinking it wont be hard to make this one shoot with hand loads

Very nice Dave. Look at a pair of Low S&K ring's for that rig. They are the cats PJ's on a Kimber.

Thanks Chuck! Ya, that was the plan for the rings I just wanted to make sure I was satisfied with the rifle before ordering. So far I'm happy

Some days I wish I was right handed. Well OK most days.
Nice! That shouldn't be too hard to carry around! I'll second the S&Ks...
