the handi runs about 200 to 250. its prob the least expensive 223 rifle. unless u find a good used one.

I think the Handi-rifle without the bull barrel is under $200. Remember, it needs a scope.....
I think Savage makes their model 93 in a combo that includes a scope. Thats a .22 mag. Keep your shots under 100 yards and in the boiler room and it will do the job for you. Ammo is a bit cheaper than a .223 which, when you are 13 is probably a factor. I just looked, and there is one on Gunbroker.com for $240...Item # 15450123.
You can also use your 16 ga with the biggest shot you can find out to maybe 40 yards.

The 270wsm is expensive to shoot 130gr bt's run me 25$ a box. Light recoil but its more than you need for yotes and with your price range its outa the questoin. Id opt for a handi rifle in 223.

yes the bullets are hight if you buy them at wal-mart they only carry the 130 grain silver tip ballistic tip but i saw the other day where you can buy them out of the bass-pro mag anysize its very accurate too they are very nice

We run dogs over yotes and my experience has been that unless you have dogs to go catch em you don't want to shoot the 22 mag or .17. We've found everything from the 222 on up work just fine. Then again , were shooting running animals most times except when they stop to listen for the dogs in range so were not always dead center in thier chest, though the one I shot in the chest frontwards with the 22mag at 20 yards we didn't get. Don't really know except the shot felt really good but the results were not. Upgraded from that point to 22 250. Enjoy and good hunting. Juniorpc.

RE: new coyote rifle
 
i won a 30-06 at the DU banquet and my dad already has one...would a 30-06 be a good yote rifle????

TREEDOG 02-10-2004 05:33 PM

RE: new coyote rifle
 
Sure the 30-06 will kill them, but its more recoil than you need. Do u want to keep the fur?

ALESN87 02-10-2004 06:41 PM

RE: new coyote rifle
 
well i want to learn how to tan so i can sell the fur...or could i just sell the animal without tanning??? well ne ways yea i want to keep it maybe mount it....so do u think the 30-06 will work?

Go with the 223 rifle they are long range and quite cheap

Get rid of the .22 's and buy a heavier gun like a .220 swift or a 22-250 or any cal. like that .... a good gun well a new england .. sportser or a handi-rifle are cheap and shoot sweet !
