Coyote Gun is complete :)

[phinton81]

Howdy folks, just wanted to post up a pic of my coyote gun all ready to go. Haven't sighted her in yet, but the gun was a great shooter in the old HS stock. Planning on putting in a Timney very shortly. I love the short compact size, weight is a hair over 10lbs scoped,

Parts:

700 LTR in 223 1 in 7" twist

McMillan M40 Stock, 75% OD, 25% Black (purchased off the EE)

Zeiss Conquest 4.5-14x44 Mil-dot with target turrets

Warne Tactical rail

Leupold PRW rings

Harris BR bipod 9-13"

Going to do some load development, gun seems to prefer 62 - 69 grainers. Any recipes, let me know

Thanks,

Patrick

Love the flutes ... I'm drooling

The stock barrel comes in 1:7 twist?

 

[Jeromeo]

Also, have you tried the 80gr vld's or Amax? ?

The stock barrel comes in 1:7 twist?

Remington lists it as 1 in 9"

Nice rifle.

Nice rifle.

That's what I was thinking. Custom fluted barrel?

 

[2tall2]

Looks a lot like my factory fluted 26" XCR LRT which is 1 in 9", although might be hard to see in my pic.

ps, How do you post full size Photobucket images? Mine seems only to allow 77%.

Coyotes will be in trouble with that set up. How is the balance with the 20" barrel.

Well done I really like the stock. Range report ...

 

[phinton81]

My mistake,

It's a 1 in 9" twist. I have not tried the 80gr VLD's

Gun shoots 69gr Sierras like a house on fire, and does a pretty good job with the 62gr cheapy Fusions as well. 75gr V-max's were so-so but that may have been me that day. I am loving the McMillan M40. It is my second McMillan, as I have just finished a 595 build using an EDGE in the Sako Hunter pattern,

Will post a range report once I can get her on the range,

Cheers,

Patrick

Balance is awesome, less barrel heavy, more neutral in your hands. I use a blind often for yotes and the 24-26" can be a pain in the a**. That's why I got the LTR to build off,

No idea,


I just post the direct link and it works for me, these are super high res images taken with my DSLR though

I'm wondering if I should have went with a 20" too, instead of the 26". Oh well, may have to buy another

Nice built, may the coyote god smile upon you.

Very Nice.....can you tell me what height of rings you're using? I'm looking at the same scope for my coyote rifle!

PRW Low, the Warne rail is a 0 Moa rail but is still quite high so you can get away with lower rings

Thanks!!! How do you like the Zeiss for hunting....any issues???
