I have a Smith & Wesson 1500 in .223 that I was selling. havent had a chance to shoot it though. Think I have a 20x scope lying around that I might put on it. Anyone shooting Coyotes with theres?

[henpecked]

Ive shot coyotes with the Ruger..
The remington is to new, havent had the chance yet

I deal with a Farmer/Rancher in the Limon area for beef/prok. He was telling me about a Coyote calling and shooting contest comming up. I think it's next weekend. I'll find out for sure and post the date if anyone's interested. He has access to thousands of acres to do this if anyone is interested in the two day hunt. Think that their giving away prizes for most killed, largest, etc. Would be a good time to try out the 1500..

Mine is a heavy barrel, composite stock, older varmit gun. It shoots well....too bad I don't!

Heres the kid with the Ruger
6.5 x 20 power Leupold
harris bipod




The VTR has one of them new redfields on it 3x12
This gun was stress relieved on a metalax machine

I don't have a .223 bolt rifle. Yet.

Hell, it took me over 2 1/2 years to find a .308 bolt rifle that fit my needs.

Howa 1500 .223 AI, smithed up by GunTroll.

Have played with .22-250 & 6mm Rem, but for cheap brass, barrel life, & powder use decided to try this out.

Have you had it long enogh to know if you like it?

I currently have a Ruger M77 MKII in 22.250, and a M77 flat bolt in .220 swift. I will probably end up with a .223 bolt gun soon...probably another Ruger or a Savage. Gotta love the small bore centerfires!
