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

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.

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.

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.
After the first shot the rest are just noise.

Make mine a Minaska

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

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

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...
