[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 647045, member: 2011"] It seems like "to each his own" on this topic. I based my choice on hunting area, hunting methods. I never was much for gas guns as I tend to lean towards precision versus volume. I use the gas gun for short range yot hunting only. If it were probable that I could get that close to a woof every time I came across one I'd probably stick with the gas gun. Around my neck of the woods, southeast Idaho, most wolf hunting occurs along with elk hunting. Thus the rifle of choice is elk ready and capable of doin' in a woof also. For woof hunting specifically, I will be pressing my good old, and recently rebuild, LRH rig. Before the rebuild she was proven out to ~1500 yds. She pushes or pushed, before the rebuild, a 150 gr bullet at 3550 and coyote accurate to the distance mentioned. Since the rebuild she'll be dedicated to 169.5 gr Original Wildcats at about 3250 (yet to be determined) With a 200 yd zero and well under 16.x MOA drop at 1K, she'll have plenty of range. Since the rebarrel she's much more handy and easier to pack around the mountains. Looking forward to a good year.. [/QUOTE]
