[QUOTE="SIOUXcountry, post: 720631, member: 57566"] Hello everyone, I am knew to the shooting world other than basic .22lr tinkin around or an occasional 30-06 whitetail shot. I recently purchased and am going to manage 100+ acres of Wetland Restoration (WRP) and need a good varmit gun. Now my question for you guys is if it is possible to have a gun capable of knocking down coyotes at 500yds and closer while at the same time not being overkill on a 50 yd ditch skunk? My need for a 500yd round is due to the coyotes/fox that skirt the property across my land and quickly duck for cover in the bordering Kelly's Slough National Wildlife Refuge. I can sit and call but for the most point will be 'making my rounds' daily and limiting any predation. As far as cost I am thinking $1500 for gun and glass (I tend to believe you get what you pay for). Possibly 22-250, .243, or 25-06? Looking at Tikkas with Swaro Z3 glass. This might go over my budget but that would be justified if it was quality. Thanks [/QUOTE]
