what would it be?
This topic is running on another board (not THAT board :biggrin:) but it mainly has western hunters responding. I was wondering what you eastern hunters would say. :wo:
I'd like to have one of those Savage Predators in .22-250
I couldn't ask a rifle to do more than my Browning Abolt 243 with BOSS. It is poison to coyotes and a paper puncher too. Having a top notch scope is important too, especially in low light.
It would have to be my Bakail .223/12 ga. Best eastern gun I have found yet. I have the best of both worlds and don't have to carry two different guns. :yoyo

what he said /\ /\
combo gun here same make and model
I like what centerfire put now that will put the hurt on em. but since I dont own anything like that for me It would have to be the ever popular BLACK RIFLE yep you guessed it a good ole 5.56 bushmaster ar-15 if Im going to send some 5.56 at a Yote I want him backed up by 29 buddies but thats just because I have yet to get a 100rnd drum for my ar yet :eyebrow: :biggrin: :yoyo:
I'm going to have to say a stainless Ruger M77 MarkII 22-250 with a feather touch Timney trigger, and nice Boyds thumbhole stock, topped off with a illuminated reticule Barska 3-12X50 :yoyo:
Oh wait :doh2: I already got one :eyebrow:
Here's the rifle that I built just for predator hunting. It has a 16" match grade LW barrel and wears a Bushnell Elite 4200 3-9x40 scope now. MI VHNTR

that sounds like a pretty nice set up Jim since you already got one if you lay hands on a second one you could always send it My way :biggrin: I volunteer to do the review for ya :roflmao:
I shoot a ruger m77 with a bull barrell and a Timney trigger set at 1 lb. Leupold 6.5-20 fine crosshairs. weighs 14 1/2 pounds with the bi pod.
I want an Ar 15 in 223
I use a Moss. 835 12 ga. shotgun for night hunting and have seen many days I wished I had it.
Lay hands on a second one Lordal? I had to create this one :eyebrow: :eyebrownod:
A guy can always dream cant he Jim :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao:
I probably should have said to state what caliber your one coyote gun would be. :doh2: Most of those that responded I can figure out though.
I'm using a Savage .243 w/accu trigger I picked up about a year and a half ago. I really like this gun. I've shot a few deer with it but no coyotes yet.
5.56 in the AR style. Got one.
how has your barska been jim? I absolutly hated mine and probably will never buy one again. but it seems a few good ones are out there. mine kept foggin up from the inside.
my combo gun is topped off with a simmons turkey scope with a ill reticle.
Never had any problems Ben. Actually looking at getting another for a different rifle
Hey Weedwalker...like this one in .22-250 :biggrin:

I also have a Ruger No.1 in .22-250 but don't have a pic handy for it or the NE arms .223 or the Remington 870 Express or :innocentwhistle:

This is a sick thread Semp! :doh2:
Only one gun for coyote hunting? :huh:
It should be "If you could only have one 30 gun safe full of guns for coyotes what would they be?" ;yes; Now there is a thread that would take some real thought. :wink:
Why do think I drive a 4X4 Suburban for hunting? So I can take all the guns, ammo, & camo to meet each situation. :eyebrow:
204Ruger in a CZ American. :yoyo:
AR 15 or the AR15 if I could only pick one of the two it would be the AR15 :eyebrow:
I was a big bolt fan for most of my life and also used the savage 24f over and under(22hornet 12Gaa) for turkey's. I then started using the savage 24 for coyotes and then went to Thompson pistol's. I then wanted to get away from the single shots. Looked at bolt guns again but after talking to Brent at the LBL and holding his AR I started looking into them. I got one and have not looked back since.
Most of my coyote hunting and shots are from 10 to 70 yards and sometimes have multiple targets which = fast shooting. So based on the type hunting I do I would have to stay with the AR platform.
AR 15 final answer! Caliber of choice so far has been the 300 whisper but looking into the 6.8 for a factory chambering.
I really like my new R-15!!

Love my RRA in .223! After using bolt guns for many years it's nice to have the speed when doubles come in.
I think the ar-15 is the ultimate coyote weapon cause of the number of bullets you can sling at em. I have used mine allot. However, I 've killed more coyotes with my 22-250 bolt Remmy 700 cause I really enjoy shooting this rifle. I've done allot to this gun and customized it to my likes.

C'mon Bob, you can't leave us hanging like that. Let's see some pics. :eyebrow:
