What is your favorite coyote gun?
 

I have a Ruger m77 .223 that I use just curious what the other varmint slayer of the world use. My son is wanting something in .22-250 cal any suggestions?

Ruger M77V or Ruger No.1 Heavy barrel in 22-250 or 220 Swift. Savage 110 BVSS in 22-250 or 220 Swift. Rem 700 BDL in 22-250. I have both Rugers and the Savage in both 220 Swift and the 250. LOVE THEM!!!!! Knocks a yote flat!!!! 220 Swift harder to find than the 250 though.

My favorite bolt action rifle is my CZ 527 in .204 Ruger. The next time out I am going to try out my Rem 700 in .243Win that I bought last year. For Semi auto I really like using my ARs in either 5.56/.223 or 6.5 Grendel as well.

Depending on your son's budget I would suggest looking at the Tikka, CZ 550, Rem 700 Sendero, or even a model 7 varmint. I have read good reviews on the Marlin X7/XL7 for budget rifles. No experience with them though.

Depends on the set-up;

Can only choose one = Remington 700 in .243

Walking, spot & stalk = AR in 5.56/.223

Open country with lite winds = Savage weather warrior in .204

I have a savage bvss 22-250. Laminate stock, heaven, SS, fluted barrel. It's heavy, but it's a shooter. It's simply doesn't miss.

270 Weatherby. Cuts them in half, and i can really reach them.

I've got a nice custom 6MM, but my favorite to pack around and shoot coyotes with is my 1885 lowwall winchester in .223. Its nice and compact and very accurate. In this country, more than one shot at anything doesn't happen.

I don't have a dedicated coyote gun...the two I killed this year was with a Browning A Bolt 243...both dropped in their tracks and never moved...

Thanks for for sharing all of your picks it interesting to see what everyone uses.

I run all AR's for coyotes. Custom built on bushmaster receivers, I have a rebarreled and tweaked Varminter 24" heavy barrel and a 16.5" custom Hbar. Both in .223/5.56. Sure, a heavier caliber will anchor them more reliably if you're not a very good shot, but the .223 is plenty for as far as anyone typically will hunt dogs (500+/-). I put up fur, so I'd rather keep my dogs in one piece.

I use a m77. 223. Had a howa 22-250. I miss that gun!

LOL RR!

I'd like to say my favorite is my Rem 700 VSSF in .22-250, but I've never killed one with it! Every time we actually go out "coyote" hunting, we never see any. The only yotes I've gotten (3) have been with my .280 while deer hunting.

My varmint gun is a tack driver though...it shot at 1 hole 5shot group at 100yds, and I killed a groundhog at 500yds :D (that is saying somethting for me, I don't shoot alot at long range) Maybe someday I'll get a yote with it.

Couple of nice coyote's there RR.

M-77 25/06 for daytime. Rem. 870 12 ga for night.

Hey RR,
It took a second to figure out why you threw that bear skin on the couch for the pics and then I noticed a toe sticking out.
You took her pink sleeping bag off, covered your sleeping wife up with the bear skin to keep her warm, take the pics and keep from waking her up to take the pics at the couch and not have another angry bear on your hands!!!!!!! LMFAO!!!!!!
Great pics all the same. I see you have a Savage O/U as well. I have one in 20ga and 22 Hornet. Great little fox gun and coyote at night. hard to find anymore. Would like one in 12ga and 223.

Shot one this morning....hard charger at 40 yards. Watched him come in from 1/2 mile away. Way too nasty mange for good pictures.

RR, Nice. I like 3" 2's on fox for you never know if a yote is gonna stick his nose too close!!!! I shoot a Wrights tube in it. Had stewart do a choke tube job on it for me years ago. May have to look into one.

RR, there is something wrong with all your guns. The bolt handle is on the wrong side....
