what is your coyote and bobcat rig

Only coyotes but have used a .204 cz conquest scope or a 7mm wby mag accumark bushnell 6500 scope.
I've got "coyote" guns spanning from .17 Rem, .204, .223, 22/250 and 22/243 Middlested. If you can get a easy handling 22/250 sporter that shoots like a heavy barrel, you can close the book on coyote calling rifles.
My current favorite is my Kimber Varmint, Leupold 4.5-14 X 40 LR with Boone & Crockett reticle, various Harris bipods, sticks or a military sling depending on set up or mood. It weighs 8 1/2 pounds ready to go, just like most of my hunting rifles. I've found that 12 pound rodent rifles that might be great for a 400 yard shot are a real handicap the rest of the time. Doesn't stop me from using them at times, but very little about coyote hunting makes sense.

I had a T3 Lite Stainless in .223 (nice rifle), sold it and have a Savage Model 12 LPV on the way in .223 which will eventually become a 20 VarTarg with 20-22" barrel. The T3 had a Nikon Buckmasters SF and the Savage will have a Bushnell 3200 5-15 Tactical on it.
