Now I'm stepping back a bit, .308win or .223Rem? I might double this rifle as an antelope rifle, so the 30 cal might be an advantage. It'll primarily be a coyote rig though, so maybe it's a good excuse to buy 2 heavy rifles to replace the 2 I sold years back?

I like the Savage, but the fit and finish of the Savages I had in the past just wasn't up to par for me. The accuracy and reliability were a 10, but general quality was a 6. I want a rig I can always be proud to pull out of the case... That's my only qualm with getting the Savage.

I want to be able to sell hides, but I like reaching out and touching coyotes...
