coyote guns

[carpshooterdeluxe]

i'll take a stab at the price and guess probably $1850 for the gun and $250 for the scope? how close am i???? id say well worth whatever a guy pays for it because those custom AR's shoot rings around stock ar's. you definetely get what you pay for!!!! cant wait to get my les baer custom!!!

I paid about 700 for my Olympic arms K-8 and another 200 for the burris fullfield 3-9x40....here is the link to my post on another topic here and the run down on it.

Thanks for the link, Still hoping Cast gives me a total price, I'm really currious.

I've got about 1700 bucks into it,by far the most spendy gun I've owned.Have actually only bought 3 new guns in my life and two of them were for the kids,usually settled for a good deal or good enough gun in the past.I'll be replacing the scope in the future,although Leuopold makes fine optics they don't have the eye releif suited for an AR something I wasn't aware of before purchasing it.Now I see they are building the lowers out of carbon composites which are supposedly lighter and stronger.Maybe this won't be the one and only build of a lifetime LOL! A buddy of mine who shot matches in the Marines has a Bushmaster and convinced me of the accuracy with these guns.I've got a case of rounds ordered and am looking forward to shooting with him at many different distances.

I've often thought about getting into predator hunting. I used to trap fox and coon, so if I did, I'd be inclined to save the pelts. That .204 Ruger round....does anyone think it's superior to the .17 Rem??? I've heard the .17 doesn't even leave an exit hole most of the time.

i guess i couldnt tell you if it is better than the 17 rem. i know that i like mine and wouldnt trade it for any other varmit rifle. very accurate, but at extremely close ranges it exits on coons, but at 100 yds couldnt tell he was shot. fox it exited but at 300yds was just a tiny dime sized hole. i used 32 grain blitz kings and 33 grain double hollow points, i didnt get to see the results of the 33 grains, picked them up late this year. but they didnt seem to be as accurate. i am all for the 204.

I'm sorry if it was already mentioned, but for close range the 12ga and No4 buck is the schnizzle on yotes - especially if your an average shooter like me and they're on the move. Probably more of a solution for the guys chasin the circling ones in tight cover with lazy, smelly hounds

Has anybody had good luck with the .17hmr? If so about how far can you get a clean kill at?

[HunterLee]

for the 17hmr fox 100yds or so you should be safe and coyotes maybe 60. shot one that was wounded already and it took two to the chest and one to the head to end it. coons 125 or so dependeing on the size.

[FrontenacPike]

From what I've heard 17 are seriousley effected by the wind??? Any valour in that???

[Cooter]

With the light bullets I'd say yes.

[HunterLee]

depends on how much wind there is. at 100yds in a hard crosswind it moves but in a breeze say 5-15 maybe 20 i dont think it bothers a whole lot. shot crows at 150 in a stiff wind accouted for it missed next shot held right on, got him dead. sure it effects it some but not as much as people think.
