[QUOTE="lewwetzel, post: 436254, member: 21496"] From first-hand experience I can assure you the .22-250 SPS Varmint will serve your needs well. I have one, although mine is a Cabela's special "SPSS" - with a stainless action and barrel (highly recommended), and they often have them marked down; mine was no more $ than a blue one most places. Not sure, however if any of the SPS's are available in left-handed, will check. Mine shoots easily under 3/4" inch with the first factory ammmo I tried (Fed. Premium Nosler BT 55gr., although you'd probably want something like a soft point for coyotes.) Bolt cycling and chambering is smooth as butter on mine. Like you, I intend to add a better stock, trigger, etc. later; the huge selection of aftermarket options for the 700 make it more desirable than the Savages (also good) IMO. With a 20X Super Sniper scope, mine comes in at a tad over your $800 price point. Note: Cabela's is showing that stainless SPS V with a 40 buck rebate until 12/31, making it under $600. Still not sure about LH; maybe special order(?) [/QUOTE]
