This one....at least for now;) 22 CM 16" Bart 1-6.5" 5R 88's at 3100. With the stock compressed, even with the suppressor, it's only 37" long. Dupes 6 CM ballistics, 105's at 3100, with a barrel that is 8" shorter.... Reloader 26? X-VERMINATOR
Sooner or later our heritage of hunting is going to be a rich mans sport and the words "Outfitter" and "Hunt Industry" will be synonymous with cancer and A.I.D.S. among blue collar hunters like me and my family! (A.L. Williams - 2010)

Little 20" barreled CZ 527 chambered in .17 mach4, has killed a truck load of coyotes over the years. I had to do a double take.....thought you stole my rifle for a minute there. CZ 527 with Pac-Nor SSM chambered in 17FB......great minds and all that. I used this 700 Classic 17Rem for years before I built the CZ. She's on her third barrel and doesn't see much use these days but neither do I. Tor some reason that little walnut/SS CZ really trips my trigger. Would like to have one in a 20 VarTarg. I have one in .221 Fireball that might be the finest shooting factory rifle I've ever had. It's no Vartarg, but that's where the Vartarg came from. It shoots well with every bullet I've ever tried in it (nothing over 52gr.), and Reloader Seven. I've got four 527s altogether. Fine little action. Those small action CZs are the nut, every one Ive owned has been top notch. Had a .19 Calhoon and a .19 badger , both of those were amazingly accurate rifles, James builds a fine product off those CZ actions. My current one in .17 mach4 is a great little rifle, light, handy and puts the hammer on a coyote. I'm surprised there are so many CZ 527 fans since they have that "backwards safety".... Kidding aside.....they're real workhorses that are usually pretty accurate. I've had great luck with them.

Anything that's not exactly like everything else - well - I just can't adapt whatsoever .

Kimber 84M Varmint in 22-250. Barrel has been cut to 24". Bedded in a Wildcat synthetic stock. Metal Cerakoted in a tan, stock similar color with black webbing.
Backup is a Remington Model 7 Predator in 17 Fireball. This is the close range rifle, or where less noise is appreciated or when fox or if I'm ever lucky, a bobcat is called in.

Just the opposite for me......I broke in with a three on the tree so dad would never let me drive the 3/4 ton four speed for fear I'd put my eye out.

It would be fun to see you guys in an old Freightliner, 250 Cummins, with a 4&4 running 105,500lbs. in the mountains.
After the first shot the rest are just noise.

[/quote] Even if you can't adapt to the safety Id think for someone familiar w a bolt action rifle, keeping the bolt open when you don't have a target in sight would keep anyone & those in the vicinity safe. Seems Forrest Gump had a message that would be applicable here.

Gearboxes aside......I've always said that anyone that's boggled by a safety probably shouldn't own a gun

Here in Wyoming, "predator" means something a bit different then it does in Florida.
My most used "Varmint Rifle" is an accurate AR15 in 5.56 NATO. It's used for killing critters up to about 60 pounds.
For Mountain Lion, Bears, (both Blacks and Grizzlys) and Wolves I'd use what every big game rifle I have in my hands at the time. In my hands is the key here. When hunting antelope or deer in some places, any "deer rifle" is as good as any dedicated "predator" rifle. But when hunting in the areas where I see a lot of Grizzlies I have a tendency to carry bigger rifles. I have killed a lot of elk with 270s, but I just feel a bit better when hunting in places where the other hunter is a big bear, having a rifle that fires 200 to 400 grain bullets in my hands. So if I am hunting in the open plains or river bottoms and some of the mountains where no grizzlies are seen I am found with rifles from my 25-06 and up in my hands, but the more big bears are around the more my deer rifles seem to grow.

Around the farm/home place ~ almost always my Ruger 22/77 all weather in 22 Hornet
When I go out calling for coyotes ~ I usually take my Remmy 700 Varmint in .204

Nice old thread. Lots of nice Predator rifles. A 204 Kimber....... And a 17 Rem. Kimber........ Every once in a while I'll take out the Ruger Ultralight in 223. It's one of the heaviest rifles I have. Not sure who gave them the name if Ultralight, but they must have smokin' something.............

Heading out on a Predator hunt next week with a new ( to me...) .17 Rem in an LVSF, which I put into a B&C Alaskan stock... Stone cold shooter...we shall see how the predators like it!

I roll with a Colt carbine fairly often, when I am not using a bolt gun. This one one is pretty much a dedicated hunting rig, with a White Oak 7 twist, that has been turned down to a pencil barrel profile, and is housed in a carbon fiber free float tube. Trigger is a Geissele. Scope is a 2.5-8 Leupold with BDC cam set for MK262, 77 grain SMKs. The buffer tube is wrapped in vet wrap, so it does not rip out my beard hairs..

This morning I killed a coyote with a 223 Australian Outback 55 grain Sierra Blitzking factory load fired from a Savage 24F combination gun, my do anything truck gun. Dumb coyote ran away from the truck, but when I blew on the Crit'R-Call he turned around an ran straight at the truck. When he got to about 20 yards away I poke the barrel around the back and popped him. Made me feel like I was in a Randy Anderson video.

Nice looking rig. I'd bet that that stock makes the LVSF a whole lot handier than it was with the wide, flat, forearm factory stock.
