Dang! Glad my gun builder friends are gone or I'd be having them whip something up. Those guys would build me anything I wanted. All it would cost me is the cost of the barrel and action.   |

I missed a coyote at 700 yards yesterday with a 308 rifle. Im sure I am no threat to these guys.
Very impressive shooting!

A coyote at 700 yards would be a shot to be proud of !
Them things almost never stop moving. And usually at a trot too. I got one a several hundred yards with a .338 win mag while elk hunting. I think it was a 225 grain Accubond. ...tj

I used to hunt eastern Oregon mule deer and knew my loads out to 500 yards, but 700?!? Wow! I just flung a shot at it just to let it know I was watching. I was close enough that he knew he was being shot at! It was fun, but really all I did was educate it. |

I just knew where it was going to go under a fence and put the bottom of the scope objective there. Right before he paused to go under I fired. A very satisfying soft thud sound came back to me. Blood, hair and offal were at the spot it stopped at but I never found it. I figured it was gut shot and probably in the next county by then. Sure would have liked to have recovered that one. |

As an eastern woodlands hunter, second growth and swamp, the normal habitat, the distances people play at now boggles my poor little mind. My farthest deer kill was @ 80 yds..

Oh, I would NEVER try that on a deer. NEVER.
Hogs and coyotes, different story.
