whats everyone shooting?
I shoot a Ruger Mk2 24 inch stainless
and a remington VTR 20 inch
I have a Smith & Wesson 1500 in .223 that I was selling. havent had a chance to shoot it though. Think I have a 20x scope lying around that I might put on it. Anyone shooting Coyotes with theres?
Ive shot coyotes with the Ruger..
The remington is to new, havent had the chance yet
I deal with a Farmer/Rancher in the Limon area for beef/prok. He was telling me about a Coyote calling and shooting contest comming up. I think it's next weekend. I'll find out for sure and post the date if anyone's interested. He has access to thousands of acres to do this if anyone is interested in the two day hunt. Think that their giving away prizes for most killed, largest, etc. Would be a good time to try out the 1500..
Mine is a heavy barrel, composite stock, older varmit gun. It shoots well....too bad I don't!
Heres the kid with the Ruger
6.5 x 20 power Leupold

I don't have a .223 bolt rifle. :([BooHoo] Yet.
Hell, it took me over 2 1/2 years to find a .308 bolt rifle that fit my needs.

X2 Please post details. Probably too far for me, but I have done several of these and they are a hoot!Quote:

I shoot it primarily at the Pueblo PD matches Hoser and company put on. If I do my thing, and that's a big "if", it will shoot into 3/4" at 100 yards. I also play with it to 1K yards at my secret spot.
The camo rifle is my .22 trainer. It's a Savage Mark II FV. Scope is a Millett TRS-1 on a 25 moa base. I did another cheekpiece and also a spacer to raise the butt up. Ergonomically, the two rifles are as identical as I can make them. The only significant difference is the size of the grip. The .22 feels skinny in my hand compared to the .308. It shoots just sub moa with Eley Target. The plan is to cut some 1/2 scale prairie dogs out of steel and set up a practice range, but I haven't gotten that far yet.

Still loving that cammo job TimK. That's an awesome idea. You'll keep that forever, and in 20 years be really glad that you did it.[Beer]
Sorry guys, guess the coyote shoot was this weekend. Farmer Roger says we can still come out and hunt if we want to and he also found some new prarie dog towns that we can ambush. If anyone wants to plan a weekend, just let me know and I can pass along his contact info. Just please be respectful to him and his property.
I guess I should have added my rifle are for praire dogs and coyotes...
Both trigger have been polished or worked. We shoot golf balls from camp
when were bored.
Is he still allowing guys on his property got hunt? If so, mind PMing me his contact info? My buddies and I are always lookin to bag a few coyotes.Quote:

Winchester model 70 .223 Ackley. Put a Konus M30 4-16X on it. It's one of my favorite rifles (along with all the rest of my rifles)
CZ 527 American topped off with a Simmons WTC 4.5x15x40
Cooper model 21 223...crazy accurate for a factory rifle
Tikka 595 Continental Varminter and a Remington VTR in factory desert camo.
