[QUOTE="jayph, post: 419622, member: 11805"] [b]Budget Long range coyote rifle (new target pics in post 5)[/b] I decided I wanted a custom rifle for coyote's. I always wanted a cartridge that wasn't that common, and I also wanted to do it on a cheaper budget as it is a coyote rifle. Well I got it back today. Savage Model 11 with detachable mag Timney trigger at about 1.75 lbs Shillen matte barrel varmint contour in .220 Ackley 1-9 twist HS precision stock in winter camo Ken Farrel 20MOA base Burris signature zee rings Vortex Viper 6.5-20x44 Bedded and bolt timed Larger winter marksman knob No local smith wanted to tackle trying to make this feed.
