Its pretty wild looking. Not really my style, but it would be a pretty cool coyote rig I guess

That's interesting. Minis haven't been exactly legendary for accuracy but if this one actually shoots.............. I think I'll give one a try.

If they deliver anywhere near the accuracy yes it should be cool the only thing that could make it better is if it was in 204 ruger then it could be darn near ultimate coyote gun.

There is also one with a Houge Overmolded stock on the Ruger website. I have one of those stocks on my 10/22 and they are actually pretty nice.

too bloody heavy for a calling rifle. for a truck gun, it'd be alright

Shouldn't this be in the semi-auto thread?

I like the Idea of the "Laminate" stock but why the Fugly thumbhole one ?

I don't know Todd, I've packed a good 12lb rifle around for calling. Made a shooting bench outta snow once too. It helped burn off the donuts. I'll wait to see if these things actually work, other wise I'll wait.

How the hell do you give this thing a good trigger though?

 

[pilot24]

an accurate 223 semi auto is pretty close to ideal for yotes in my opinion, now I would much prefer a synthetic stock for weight matters, Also have a hogue on my 10-22 and its very nice!


But same here, i'll buy one when I can see one shoot consistently into 1 inch...

AR 15 would be waaaaay better, but its tooooo scarrrry for the sheeple
