I picked up a ruger 77/22 in 22 hornet earlier this year to try out on coyotes. Haven't had it out in the field much yet, kind of on a 223 kick right now, I go through stages. But the hornet shoots really well. It did take me some time to work up a nice reload that I was happy with. I would say it is the most picky rifle I own, but she seems to really like Hornady 40 gr. v-max. I'll dig it back out after deer season for sure, but for now I'm working on a good hard hitting 308 winchester load for a moose hunting trip up in zone 5 (Maine). We got the november week up there (cow permit).
