What he is after is having to win it, to conquer the surly brute through his own effort and skill with all the extras that this carries with it: the immersion in the countryside, the healthfulness of the exercise, the distraction from his job."

Jayrod, How do you like the 6.5x20? My bro inlaw and Cuz have the Nikon 3x9 predator BDC and like it but have trouble with  just throwing the rifle up and finding the coyote... How does your scope rate in the "through up the gun and fire" ? Does it help to have the big 50mm aperture?
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

I'm planning on using my new .223 encore pro hunter in .223. I got a 4-12 Pentex on it. Only issue I can see is its stainless. Thinking of having it dipped. I found I can get the barrel done for $150 any color or pattern I want.

If you shoot the first one you will never get that true trophy.

$150 sounds like a pretty good deal. Have you seen the DIY dip kits? I got one an used it on some things, some calls, mags, and a scope. It worked pretty good, the scope turned out awesome - but I dont know if I'd try & do a gun..... I thought about doing my S&W MP40 in digital since it is somewhat expendable to me... but I dont want to bung up a perfectly good gun either....  :dunno:
I aint superstitious - cuz its bad luck!

My current coyote rifle is a Browning A-Bolt with a custom Bullberry barrel in .204 Ruger. In my opinion the ultimate coyote cartridge(I know I’m gonna catch flax for that one!) kills them like lighting and leaves no exit hole... usually!  ;)

I love the scope! I leave it on 6.5 and I'm good to go. The 50mm is great at dusk and dawn. I had the vortex crossfire before the viper and it had the illuminated reticle. I was worried about low light but the viper is so clear there is no problem at all. Ill put a Vortex up against almost anything out there.
