Coyote Rifle

[Brod_Man]

im wanting a rifle larger than a .22 thats not a shotgun that can takedown coyotes and such. low recoil for a low price. preferebly under a couple hundred to two fifty. thank ya much.

Your two best choices are probably going to be a .223 Remington or a .22-250. The .223 is cheaper to shoot, has better barrel life, and is adequate for coyotes out to about 325 yards. The .22-250 is about 500 fps faster with the same bullet weight, and will extend the maximum effective range out to about 400 yards.

You might looks at a Stevens 200 or Savage 110. Be careful buying used .22 centerfires. These guns are commonly used for high volume varmint hunting and may have the barrel already shot out.

You lucked out. This is one of the all-time best coyote rifles.

Chances are you'll not get a second shot at a coyoye anyways so for an inexpensive rifle for them, why not one of the H&R/NEF single shots. later if you want additional bbls can easily be added. While I really like the .22-250 cartridge, I'd even suggest the .243 or the .22 Hornet.

Take a look at the H&R ultra hunter, its a single shot with laminated stok, very nice. As far as caliber, it's hard to beat the .223, but a .243 would dual purpose on yotes, hog and deer.

Great gun/round but personally I'm more of a 223 guy.
