PGW coyote

Greek Sniper School trains grandmother LMAO! First time she ever fired a rifle first round 600m dead centre hit on the gong not to shabby although this was a Timberwolf. I own a PGW Timberwolf, LRT-3 and C-18 build quality and accuracy are top notch with amazing service. Best company I have ever dealt with.

Wow I must say I had a chance to fondle a Timberwolf today at the sportsman show and I was impressed. I was expecting to lift up a tank of a rifle but no it's is pretty light considering the caliber. Fit a finish is outstanding . I'm definitely going to plan a purchase .
 
"Looks" are cool but I depends on what you find comfortable and ergonomic to shoot and what's more practical for you, in my my opinion I think the folder is to tacticool but if your jumping out of planes with a rifle on your back it might be the way to go Iam however not using my coyote for these purposes so whatever floats your boat in sure Pgw will be happy to take your money regardless.
 
If you have small hands you will like the pistol grip folder as you can move it forward or back. The McM A5 is further to reach the trigger. I love my folder coyote ... now enough of this -40 weather so I can get out shooting darn it! HAHA.

Probably preaching to the choir here but PGW has a great website which clearly states the options it delivers, as well as their email and phone number. YMMV, but when I called, I got the answers I needed in 30 seconds. Ordered then and there.

I can't find any prices on the website.
 
I bought my PGW Coyote (308) from a good customer who ordered it and then sold it to me before shooting it. It eventually got a Leupold Mark 4 8.5-25x50 scope. I have been very happy with it and could never use all the accuracy that it delivers as I don't have the skill or trigger time to find out. I leant this rifle back to the original owner as he was having second thoughts about ordering another. He came back with an opinion that was "meh" ok but didn't meet his high expectations. He is a bench rest shooter and clearly didn't get the results that he wanted. On the other hand a friend of mine (Rob Furlong) borrowed this rifle to use for an extended time (he was just getting back into the firearms/optics industry). His feeling that it was one of the most accurate rifles he had ever shot and really wanted to buy it from me. I declined and he eventually ordered direct from PGW. What I took away from this is that clearly the Coyote is not a bench rest gun but can be used be exceptional shooters and be competitive. As field gun in the hands of an acclaimed sniper this gun is at the top end of factory built guns as what it might give away in tolerance measurements it takes back in reliability and performance in the field where these guns are really being put to use.

I am not a "shooter" of world class quality, but I shoot a few rounds every year and generally hit what I'm aiming at with reasonable consistency. I had the opportunity to shoot a Coyote and thought it's accuracy was on par with other high end factory bolt rifles, not worse, not better, but similar. Where it probably excels, and I have no way to quantify this, is in it's design and construction quality. It is a well built rifle, very robust and durable and likely very capable of taking a beating that would leave other production rifles in need of serious repairs or possibly even replacement. I think a rifle of similar quality could be made for less money, meaning you could save some cash on a few things, like the spiral fluting in my eyes does NOT add to the accuracy of the rifle, it certainly looks race car like, but I don't think it adds any functionality. The action is where the money is at in this rifle the way I see it. Pure propriety and robustness like no other. All the rest is just parts that can be assembled from any number of different manufacturers. Would I buy one now that I have had the opportunity to shoot one? No, I wouldn't, but thats just me. I have spent almost as much on custom bolt guns and came away with a product that will shoot as well as the Coyote and for the needs of this civilian who will likely never go to war, just as durable and hearty as I need. I know the customer service they offer is tremendous and that is another non-quantifiable thing that only you can decide if it is worth it to have.
 
Is PGW still selling actions separate of thier complete rifles? I emailed Ross and recieved no response back from him. I am curious if they are still servicing the custom build market or if it is just the Coyote / Timberwolf now.

At the last gun show I attended with a CF presence, there was a Timberwolf there that I commented on, but the CF fella working the booth said it was a McMillian action. I assume that PGW is making all thier own actions in house. Can anyone confirm this? Are any of the parts for the action outsourced?

We make the actions in house along with all of the other pieces. We buy the contoured barrel blank.
 
As you might guess I have access to lots of guns through the years and it's a constant struggle not to take more home (just ask Dianne). I also have sold many personal guns for various reasons but I do have a short list of guns that will never be sold while I'm alive. The PGW is one of these partly because of it's accuracy, robustness and also because it's made in Canada by people who care about guns and shooting more than just making money. I have never met anyone or contacted anyone from PGW (some day I'll probably order a Timber Wolf) so there is nothing in this for me in payback. Phil.
