Good jackrabbit Gun
Hey Y'all, I am buying a large tract of land in northern California, what kind of gun would be good for jackrabbit hunting and possibly coyote/fox. Shots on coyote will be less than 100 yards. I was thinking .22 magnum or regular old .22, advice please.

RE: Good jackrabbit Gun
Since you limit yourself to 100 yards, the .22 mag or .22 hornet will work. My own personal yote rifle is an AR .223. A LONG time ago back when I was going to gunsmithing school, I used a rebarreled very accurate mini-14 on running jackrabbits.

Check your local game laws to see what they require for coyote as a minimum caliber and what is allowed for jackrabbits. Might you also do some deer hunting (or mountian lion if they bring it back)? If so, take a look at 7mm-08, 308 and 25-06 (I am not a fan of the 243 for deer or mountain lion).
