Folks ,
I didn't read all of the text , but I'm surprised that the majority of respondents do not use rifles on the AR platform .
Very interesting input .
Happy New Year to all .

LOL, yes, it was equally friendly too, it put a little bit of hair over here, a little bit of hair over there..............................................................................; ]

Remington 257Wby.

Barnes 75gr solids

Remington 700 in 6mm.

I'm still laughing about that.

LOL K, it works, plus the 300 Win Mag hit the dirt the same year I did, it's a natural ; ]

Mine's a bit different and is a little shorter shooting. 200 yards is about what it will handle.

Valmet 300 series in 12ga/222Rem with a pretty sharp and clear Japanese Tasco 3-9. Called in close, a load of #4 buck whacks them. Farther out the 222 will do it if I do it right.

Hey...don't laugh. It was less than $500.00 all set up.

LH TC Dimension in 204 Ruger. Most butt ugly gun own ,but dang its a shooter and comes to the cheek beautifuly

Hell of a deal L2S, buck or fowl right there, cool piece.

Remington 700 Police SA .223 with 55 gr. TSX, 20" barrel threaded with a big ass can. Getting 3170 fps. Aimed via SWFA 10x40 MIL/MIL. Works.

After seeing more coyotes around my house this last year than in past years, I bought a Ruger Am Ranch in 5.56 and put on a Bushnell Elite 3000 4-12 and bought a Foxpro Inferno call. I've been out several times since the end our deer season and haven't seen anything. I'm not doing it for sport as much as to just knock some of their numbers down.

Yep. Nice.

Mine is a heavy barreled Remington Camo R-15 AR in .556 with a Leupold 4x12 VXR with the lighted reticle and BDC.
Works well on feral hogs at the Ranch too.

That'll definitely work Ready!

Damn right CHLI, a 7.62 REPR chunking 130gr TSX, 150gr NPT's and 155gr Scenars is a hell of a [several] duty utility farm rifle, hell, those 176gr Lehigh AP-WU's alone would disable any vehicle/machinery in a pinch if a whole load of crackheads decided to show up.

When I am calling in wolf/G bear country I lug my Tikka 308 / 168 gr. TTSX and SWFA 3-9 HD scope. Most of the time it is a RAR or an AR in .223 w/ 55gr. VX.

Dang right Mike, a man doesn't always have to load for just what he's after, he has to load for what ELSE lives out there too. same/same

Today I ordered a Tikka T3x Lite Stainless in 22-250 with 1:8 twist.

We'll see how that works out.

Normally, I grab the Sako L461 in 222 RemMag, with a Kahles 3.5x10x50 on it, and, this year, using 50gr B-tips at full throttle.

You'll be happy...

Tikka T3 in 22-250 with nbt 50 gr. running 3800 fps suppressed, love the meat report!

I'm thinkin' I will!

Hell, I must be living in a cave or something. I just stumbled across an old thread about them and thought how did I miss this? I checked Whittaker's website and they didn't have them. So I ambled over to Eurooptic's site and there they were! I called to confirm they had them, and just ordered it right then and there. 8 twist 22-250's are not a common commodity. I figured I better order right now or I might miss out and regret it forever.

I also have Bass Pro gift cards for a significant amount. I"m kicking around the idea of a Stoeger M3000 for close-in coyotes in wooded areas.
