[QUOTE="Irishdc, post: 434268, member: 27541"] A little background on me. I have been an avid hunter and fisherman since I was a young kid. My first firearm was my grandpas old Steven Savage .22/.410 that is what i learned to hunt with. As I got older various 22's 870 and rem 1100 3' mag gun found there way in to my collection. found my myself getting more in to shotgun pursuits. Then a strange thing happened this summer I competed in the Air Rifle contest at the Nationals at Camp Perry. That hooked me big time for precision shooting. I have never had a center fire rifle since I live in NW Ohio we can only use slug guns. However we also have Cabin in Grayling Michigan where I can use center fire rifle. So the bug is hitting time to start buying just not sure what to buy. We have a 200 acre farm that we hunt, i have taken deer, rabbit ducks and geese and pheasant off the farm. But over the past few years coyotes have had an impact in the small game numbers. Criteria: use on coyotes and ground hogs for sure, possibly deer in upper Michigan plinking for the challenge of long range shooting something that can "grow" with me as i get better I love to tinker and modify. I am leaning towards a stevens gun due to price and after market parts. not sure what caliber would like to be able to shoot at a reasonable cost when it comes to ammo and barrel life. i AM OPEN TO ALL SUGGESTIONS PLEASE FEEL FREE TO OFFER [/QUOTE]
