favorite predator hunting gun....go!

[mitchfiling]

I've only hunted Yotes for about a year now, but have taken two with my Stevens 94 .410 (slug) at 35 and about 50 yards(vitals shot)

[DBHAWTHORNE]

I use a Howa 1500 Axiom in .243....love it.

[Heredoggydoggy]

Wish I could get them in that close.  Lately I've been carrying my AR in 20 LBC. (6.5 Grendel necked down to .204).

[duckmen1]

270 90 gr hollow point 3250 fps extremely good accuracy at 1/2 inch groups or higher load same bullet at .80 inch groups average at 3500 fps. Either way it destroys coyotes.

[Kola16]

Remington 760 .30-06 with a 180 grain bullet. Stops em' dead in their tracks at 15 yards

Couldn't agree with you more, my father used a Remington 700 (.223) in the ranger battalion and told me it could drop any Taliban soldier within 500 yards!

[huntandjeep]

[KFhunter]

I use a Howa 1500 Axiom in .243....love it.

Seen that in Big R the other day, looked interesting but the Howa name scared me off. 
Maybe I'll look closer next time.

They used to make the Japanese made Weatherby's. I haven't known anyone to be dissatisfied with the Howa 1500.

[KFhunter]

I didn't know anything about the Howa's other than some entry level bargan priced youth guns I've looked at.
So I seen the Howa sticker and kept walking.   

Kind of like the early Savage guns.

Far, far from a savage. Even todays savage.

[KimberRich]

I've got a Kimber M84 Varmint model with a 24" Stainless fluted match barrel and 3 lb. trigger in 22-250 topped with a VX-III in 8.5-25.

Just got the scope recently and removed the cheap crappy BSA that I had on the gun.  Night and day difference in clarity obviously.

Can not wait to shoot some prairie dogs in Montana in May.

[Blacktail Sniper]

Remington 788 in .22-250 with Simmons 4x12 on it for now or Marlin XT-22 in .22 mag with Leupold 1x4.

[mitchfiling]

how much range do you have on that .22 mag?

[Blacktail Sniper]

how much range do you have on that .22 mag?

100ish yards with no worries, but prefer 50 to 75 as a max, that's why I have the .22-250.

[hillbilli]

i've always used my .308's.. whichever one I had in hand.. killed one with the Abolt  '06 when I had it(7 paces), and one with the mossberg turkey load when I called one in turkey hunting(40 paces). I finally have a match grade .223, so I suppose I'll have to try it...

Are you talking about a .22 LR or a .22 mag?  If just a .22 LR I would keep it at 50-75 yrds max, depending on which shells you are shooting.   

Wounding is a possibility with anything you shoot at them with.  Right behind the shoulder into the chest and they are done.

[brush hunter]

use to be .300 Mag/w 110gr bullet, but I sold all my guns, DID YOU HEAR THAT OBAMA....I SOLD THEM ALL!

[AWS]

In closer cover I use a12ga over 5.6x50R Mag. Combo gun with a 1x4 leupold on it.  The shotgun handles the close in stuff and the rifle barrel is good for 300+ yrs on coyotes.

Out in more open countru I use a 22--204 or 6mm-204 both on savage actions with 1.5x6x40mm scopes one by Burris and the other an Alpen optics.

[gottatree]

Until recently it was a 22/250 savage 12 lrpv with a 5-22 nightforce scope.  . Now I will be back to the .220 swift pre 64. 

[ebusa]

Remington 760 .30-06 with a 180 grain bullet. Stops em' dead in their tracks at 15 yards 

x 2 !!  Got this big male yote with my 760 Gamemaster 30-06 during deer season last year.   He was chasing a doe and fawn.

i almost always use my marlin model 60 (.22)when hunting yotes, and have yet to have one leave woonded.  i use the CCI Velocimax when doing this.  those things turn their insides to goo...

[mitchfiling]

Thanks for the tip! I have 700 hollow point .22 rounds stocked up 

[madmack76]

just picked up a ruger American in .243, I am in love with this gun pulled it out of the box threw a scope on it bore sighted it, first three rounds about a quarter size group, 2 inches high and 1 inch to the left, adjusted and fired 6 more rounds was in the same grouping just dead on at 100 yards, cheapest rifle I have ever bought its my new farm gun love it, looking forward to killing some yotes and deer in the upcoming season.

[jyerxa]

I use the Rugar Ranch Rifle. (AKA Mini 14) I just like wood and Iron sites. I wish I could shoot it like my 22 I had as a kid. Rats.

[wence5]

I'll buck the tiger and go with my Mossberg 835 Ulti-Mag and #4 buck shot.

[MadHatter]

I love my custom .25-06 built around a Mauser 98 action... Its like coyote dynamite...
