new yote rifle

[my82cam]

the wife was away at a retreat all weekend, so, my 2 boys(2.5 and 10 months) and i went to academy saturday morning and saw the same remington 700 sps 243 sitting on the shelf that was still on clearance. i wound up getting the remington for 370 bucks. not bad at all for new rifle. i plan on using it for yotes and loading it with 58gr vmax for yotes and 100gr for deer if i need a different gun for deer! anyways, thought i would share my new toy! oh, it is getting a leupold 3-9 scope!

That's a good deal and the 243 would be a nice rifle to start the boys, if they want to deerhunt.

That's a nice rifle!

Looks good and a nice price. Lets us know how she performs.

hopefully going to shoot it next saturday. i just picked up some hornady 58gr vmax moly along with leupold rings and bases. isn't it funny how you can have just as much in a scope and rings as you do in just the gun? lol

Hey Bearman, I've got a Savage Model 10 in .243 ( and a Howa 1500 in .243) and am looking for the ideal coyote load, off the shelf right now, as I don't reload yet. If there's anyone else that shoots a Savage .243 ( or Howa .243) at yotes, I'd love to hear about the "store-bought" round you're using. I think the barrel twist is around 1:9, or maybe 1:9 1/2. I'd like to save the hide if I could, but I want a round that'll put him down. The more I hear from... the better. Thanks.
