im getting in to varmit hunting and want a new rifle i was thinking any from a 17 hmr to a weatherby vanguard in 223.if you have any suggestions i would appriciate them

Remington 700 in 223 best all around paper puncher and varmint gun!

what ranges do you plan to use shoot 'em in? If it's solely for coyotes and they're be any chance of shots longer than 100yds I's shy away from the 17. any of the .22's will work beautifully on coyotes well past 100yds. .223 will be the cheapest on ammo thought. I'd look at a .243 just because...well I am looking at a .243 as a plink/coyote/varmint/deer do-all rifle...compare the 75gr ballistics with .223 and 22-250 and you'll see why. Ammo isn't easily found around me though. Again...I don't think you can go wrong with ANY of the .22 centerfires. Good luch and let us know what you end up with.

223 hands down

yeah i think im going with 223. cheap ammo and ive got enough deer riles well never enough rifles thanks for the imput

Heres a 223 that will reach out and keep reaching out. With a good scope with windage and elevation settings and lots of practice you could easly drop a yote at 1200+ yrds. I am goanna pic one up soon myself.

I personally wouldnt bother with the wssm it is a hotter load but its way more exspensive to shoot and the plain jane 223 will do the trick have over 200 coyote pelts that will justify it.

Don't pass up a chance to buy a good 222 Rem. if the price is right. Great little gun as is the 223.

Get the .223!

.22-250.............shoots flat as anything and drops um dead in their tracks........furthest kill for me so far is a groundhog at 396 yards!
