Full stock struggles...no more

Hey everybody, here's the problem. I've decided I would like a full stock bolt action for primarily coyote. After a bit of searching I came across the cz 550 fs in .243 and thought this would be perfect...except I can't find one.

Anyone have another suggestion? The full stock is not a style I was previously into so I'm not sure even which manufacturers make them.

I would prefer a readily available ammo (I don't reload at this time).

Thanks in advance for all your input!

Look for a nice used Anschutz in .222 or a Steyr Mannlicher SL in whatever chambering you can find. Of course .222 Rem Mag would be the coolest.
 
Excellent rifles! Mauser action. Here's my Zastava fullstock .275 Rigby -

I recently picked up* a pkk "Brno K1 Stutz" full stock single shot in 243.

Fooking ###y. Sprays bullets all over the place when the barrel is hot. This might kill it for yotes; but it is certainly light.

Nice wood and full stock though. The first scoped group I shot out of it is the only target I've ever taken out of the range with me. 3 shots all touching each other; a perfect clover leaf. If only it was like this all the time.

* and then returned for the dreaded trip to the distributor for repair because of a problem with the extractor, for full disclosure.
 
I have a CZ 527 full stock rifle in .223.

It's a pretty decent shooter. Not quite as flat shooting as a 22-250 or a 243, but 'yotes are doable if you keep your shots under 250y. It's not about the cartridge, but the inherent accuracy of the rifle.

I agree. Accuracy plays a large part in my decision on what to buy. I'm sure a full wood stock is going to be susceptible to changes in weather, temperature, and follow up rounds when the barrel heats up. Or maybe not depending on manufacturing quality? I'm trying to make an informed decision based off research and the opinions here.

I think ideally id like to stick with .243 so I could potentially use it for deer as well.
