Matt, ya should consider doing a firearm review on the ruger. would be nice to have at least one review on that forumn

I too have the Savage stainless heavy barrel topped off with a Simmons .22 Mag 3-9 AO and it shoots similar groups. I did find, it shot the CCI TNT' s better than the Remington v-max however. Now that' s just out of my gun, so it goes to show you all guns are individual. The damage to gophers was a bit better with the TNT' s as well. Matt I wouldn' t trade my gun for anything out there also. I do like the Ruger' s but couldn' t justify the cost difference at the time of purchase. If someone wants an inexpensive alternative, I' d definately suggest the Savage. JDinAB

JD, are the CCI' s you mentioned a hollow point or a ballistic tip like the Premiers? They were the next brand/make I was going to seek out based upon ballistics if these Remingtons wouldn' t shoot.

What would anyone think about 50-75 yard head shots on coyotes with this round? There' s always the possibility of one coming to my set-ups but its defintely rare.......rare but possible.

Treedog,
Thanks for the suggestion but bows I know.....guns I know enough to not shoot myself in the foot. Seriously, I' m a hunter and a decent natural shot but rifles aren' t my specialty.

They are a hollow point, a BIG hollow point! You should try them out...they are a bit cheaper then the Rem' s too. I shot a rabbit at 80 yds. and it messed him up pretty good, so I' m sure they would do the trick on a yote. Good on ya! JDinAB
