I know lots of guys run ARs but I'm a bolt gun guy myself. I use a Ruger American in 243 w/Redfield 4-12x and a buddies 22 mag for coyotes. Bought a nice heavy barreled 22-250AI years ago with the idea of it being a coyote gun but its too darn heavy at 14 pounds. Anyway what are your rigs?
The things that will destroy America are prosperity-at-any-price, peace-at-any-price, safety-first instead of duty-first, the love of soft living, and the get-rich-quick theory of life.

I'm starting to develop a love affair w/ a Mossberg MVP, the one w/ the 24" barrel and vertical grip.

If i was able to hunt song dogs, i would use my Remington 700 VSC in .223. Big barrel, but light weight.

Cooper model 21 Classic in 223 - 40 gr Nosler Ballistic Tips, every coyote I have shot with it has been DRT.

223 Rem, my favorite cartridge - you can't argue with truckloads of dead PD's and gophers.

Got a couple guns to baptize this winter, a 17 Remington with 25 grain hornady hollow points and a 220 swift ackley with 53 grain hollow points. Then there is the always reliable 223 ackley with 40 grain noslers. Might even take out the 17 hornet a few times this year

a great run of pics Huntsman--really enjoyed them, especially the first one...
all learning is like a funnel:
however, contrary to popular thought, one begins with the the narrow end.
the more you progress, the more it expands into greater discovery--and the less of an audience you will have...
