[QUOTE="coyotekiller82, post: 920480, member: 19000"] From a fellow MB resident, I would say to get you a 22-250 and load it with Berger 50gr flat base target bullets. I find this a great coyote load, and have taken 3 coyotes between 470-500 yards. 2 of which were a double in considerable wind. The 22-250 isn't known for it's wind bucking ability, but plenty of practice more than makes up for it. I shoot my rifle quite a bit in the summer at gophers etc and use this as practice for the winter months. Closer shots will cause a bit of fur damage unless your shot placement is picked carefully (as for a brand I would suggest a Savage or a Savage Axis, they are low priced and accurate as I'll get out) As for deer and bear, the 22-250 is an okay deer round loaded with the right bullet and shot placement. I used 55gr Sierra Game King 6 seasons ago to take a nice 5x4 MB whitetail. For bear, I would want something a little bigger...anything 30 cal or if using anything smaller, a premium monometal bullet out of a 260 or 243 would be my choice. Again, a Savage or Savage Axis is all you would need in a larger cal!! As for optics, I would suggest Scorpion optics, they're a local company based out of WPG with low priced quality optics. Etched reticles and quality glass in a wide variety of scopes for both varmint and big game hunting!
