Long Action varmint and coyote rifle. - 02/09/11
I have a long action to build off of and would like to build a varmint and coyote rifle. What caliber would you build and what bullet for that caliber would you shoot?
Re: Long Action varmint and coyote rifle. - 02/09/11
22-6mm Rem (aka 22 TTH) w/ fast-twist barrel for 75 gr & heavier bullets to take deer & smaller animals WAY out there.
75s at about 3700 fps!
Trying to talk myself out of one right now...

A 6mm Rem will get you about 3400 FPS with a 75 grain Hornady HP. They are scary accurate. A 300 Weatherby will get about the same with a 165 grain bullet, but may be a bit more punishing.
