good coyote gun

[BoilerWes]

No votes for the .204?

Love the dancing outlaw and love me some 204 Ruger out of my Weatherby Vanguard Varmint.

ar for fast follow up shoot if needed & flat top for optics mounting

+1 for 22-250, 223, 204 ruger, 243...depending on distance, 308 as well.

I'm working on putting together my dream coyote gun, a 20" AR in .223.

A year or so ago it would have been stellar. Now picking a different cartridge may be to your advantage, so that you can actually get your hands on it. 22-250 and .270 are good alternatives. I think .17 HMR is a little light, but that's just me.

Proly said here or someplace near, I'm thinking a bbl for my TC in .256 Win or 6mm TCU.

I've got a friend who is looking for a good coyote gun for less than $750 with optics. I'm going to have to look over all of these responses and see what he says.

$750 should be feasible, provided he doesn't want high power optics and a heavy barrel, varmint edition rifle.

I went with a used 700 ADL and a used Leupold, both like new. Saved me some coin, bought in the "off season" too. Shoots OK, factory stock sucked (synth). Have maybe 25 bucks in epoxy and paint getting it usable.

Bolt action 22-250 with a good quality 4x12 scope. .223 is ok but I prefer 22-250

Yep I like my Remington 700 22-250. ZAP!

 

[Westside]

if I am shooting them beyond 600yrds I prefer to use .375 cheytac but the gets expensive.

I do not see many people talking about .22 magnum. My neighbor loves his scoped Marlin bolt action .22 magnum; Loves it alot and claims it dispatches coyotes quickly and humanely.

 

[Niles Coyote]

any suggestions?

223, AR is great but any 223 is good, just not as quick. 22 mag if you need rimfire, not sure what your state requires.
