Author Topic: Perfect Predator gun DAA Utah/Promoted WESTERN REGIONAL Hunt Director Member # 11 posted January 05, 2006 05:55 PM                       Tim, I ordered two barrels from Dan last month.

What you need is five barrels for a better price I'll take at least one. We will be down your way the week after next, save Mike Shaun and I at least enough time for a beer or six.

All this time, I was thinking of a perfect rifle for the average predator hunter. Not so, it's what do I think. The best all around rifle I own is a 22-250 Ackley. It has probably killed XXX coyotes, some close, some way out yonder. Literally, I can't miss with that gun. I'm going to ask my son if he can recall that I ever missed a coyote with that particular rifle, because I can't? Good hunting. LB -------------------- EL BEE Knows It All and Done It All.

If you have one that you have never missed with. I don't care what caliber it is, what brand. I think you have defined the perfect Coyote gun. I will even through in a couple of points for it's owners shooting skills. -------------------- Make them pay for the wind.

Mostly I use a Mossberg 935 12 gauge with a red dot scope on the ground, but if there is a chance that I will also get to hunt a farm with some fields I will take the Browning BAR also with a red dot in 243. If I am going to be hunting out of the tree stands, I take the Savage in 243 which has a regular scope on it. I like the autos because of the close in action and the sometimes need for quick second shots when two or more show up, not because I am an eastern hunter who can't shoot 21 years in the Marine Corps, I may not be as good as some of you folks, but I can hold my own in a firefight.

I could call for a while, then just blow the whole woods to hell, and go see what I killed.

However, I always thought they were an East Coast thing, mostly around the Chesapeake Bay. Never heard of any being used in the West.

About shooting/killing coyotes "well past" 50-60yrds max...HUH! . With my 12ga 3" [non-tubed...duh! ] 36" barrel Marlin Goose Gun. Caught some flak over that post, LOL! Most folks don't/didn't buy into that . They never tried it I guess I was "leading" "some" "new-guys" a stray #3 & #00 Buck, will knock a coyote, like a Mack truck way out there. ex-long range shotgunner-dogs Posts: 1034 | From: central Iowa | Registered: Apr 2005  |  IP: Logged Tim Behle Administrator MacNeal Sector Member # 209 posted January 07, 2006 07:35 AM                       Better be careful 2dogs.

Shortened swift case, so I can use my .243 as a base. I can't remember so I'll blame it on Dave that said I'll absolutely, positively, fersuredly get 30's @ 4,200 feets per secands. :>) [ January 11, 2006, 05:18 PM: Message edited by: Doggitter ] Posts: 273 | From: Oregon rain forest | Registered: Dec 2004  |  IP: Logged Krustyklimber prefers the bunny hugger pronunciation: ky o tee Member # 72 posted January 10, 2006 11:06 PM                    Jack, You used to be an east coast thing... and yer doin' okay out here. No? Hey, if nothing else, there'd be a shooting lane there (where I fired the punt gun) for a few months. 2Dogs, Some folks just don't like anything. And that's all I have to say about that.
