I would prefer to stick with a 24" barrel (rebarrel) a Model 70 for this job.

Which do you prefer and what bullets would you use?

I would be mainly using this rifle for long-range coyotes, maybe some California Blacktails, some mule deer, and an occassional Pronghorn or light gun for Africa (think: Springbok, Impala, Mountain Reedbuck...).


Hmmm...let's see ;), where were we smile? Oh yes, 240 Weatherby or 25-06?
Thanks.

Monster Whitetails are Awesome!!!
