Default IM thinking about saving up for a decent ranged varmint rifle need help

i have no idea where to start, except that I want to be able to hit a yote in the head at 100 yards (but have a very limited buget) going off odd jobs. I would love to see your varmint rifles

Check the "What's your favorite 'yote buster" post. It has some good info & pics. I am looking into a coyote rifle too.

on a very limited budget......... a 22 Mag (rimfire) Under $200

one step up: a NEF Single Shot in any of the centerfire calibers. about $225

If you shop around, you can get their center fires for under $200, rim fires for under $150.

yea you can find guns but i wouldn't attempt a head shot on a yote. they have a kill zone about the size of and egg. that dosen't leave much room for error. however if you want a gun that will print good groups at 100 yards you should be able to find that in just about any moderen rifle "under/around 1 1/2""

i like the savage line of rifles for a yote gun. however i don't use one i use a winchester or a remington
