I SHOULD just stick to my Rem 700 in 223 shooting 60gr Vmax. It's been deadly, but I had one bad trip with it where I couldn't get shots off, and when I did I couldn't hit the broad side of a mountain! So I've got a jinx on it now!
I carry the 243win Encore when I'm targeting Cougars.
Might switch to the D-tech 243wssm on top of my R15 lower. That thing SHOOTS!
I put the 222 Barrel on the Encore shooting 40gr Vmax when I'm targeting Bobcats.
I'm working on getting my R15 in 204 to shoot for targeting Coyotes, but I can't get good groups out of the 40gr. Hoping to figure it out, I love that gun.
The Maxx1 Camo Bennelli SBE2 Steady grip backs them all up!

I have really enjoyed it so far (not really for yotes, but big game). No more than any other gun I have had, but its been good to me. Downed 2 bears and a deer without issue, one shot each.
I do have to say, that I dont care too much for the plastic clips...they just feel cheap to me. But they are light and wont rust...
The gun is easy to carry, even with a bipod/scope on. Action is smooth. I give it a thumbs up.
Sorry for the high jack...proceed.
