[QUOTE="Ian M, post: 43071, member: 25"] Chris, The Coyote has a much lighter barrel contour than the Stealth, and it is a stainless barrel with a bead-blasted finish. I am interested to hear if anyone else has a Coyote and if their rifle has any bedding in it, seems that every M-70 I have looked at has a gob of "bedding compound" in the lug recess area. Overall this is a nicely put-together rifle, the barrel sits evenly in the stock, receiver and trigger guard assembly fit well. Shot 10 rounds today during barrel break-in and got it on the 100 yard target quite easily. Took a lot of adjustment out of a Bushnell 3200 10x tactical to get the elevation. I am using Warne steel two-piece bases, if I put a sloped base on would probably help. Will play with this scope for a while, then try something else. Would like to try a Coyote in .308 Win., might make a nice carrying rifle with the right scope on it. Barrel is a little light and it will heat up faster than the Stealth. I did a piece in this issue of NRA Am. Hunter on the Stealth, you might enjoy it. [/QUOTE]
