[QUOTE="ol mike, post: 229011, member: 4683"] There is no such thing as a fur friendly longrange rifle.. A 223 will be a good 300yd coyote rifle ,"fur friendly" depends on the bullet you shoot -if you shoot a hunting type bullet at modest velocities it will be ok but you will not get explosive holes in the pelts. Many fur men like the 17 & 20 caliber offerings -never had one myself but read alot about them , the idea is to pick your shot and not have an exit wound at all.Meaning shoot to not hit bone ,and straight on shots [longways] keep the bullet inside the body. For 500-600yd. shots stick w/ your 7 mag w/a bonded bullet like a 160gr accubond or other tough bullet built for deep penetration ,and don't shoot for the shoulder area -shoot them behind the shoulder. You're going to have to sew bullet holes in pelts -use a 22-250 -243 etc. and you'll spend a lot of time sewing those blast holes inside of 300yds. Personally i'd get a remington 700 sps in 204 ruger ,it will get you out to 300-350yds i'd guess and still be relatively easy on fur.Shoot the heavier bullets if the gun likes them -i've read the bergers kill real well. The gunshop guys who told you not to bother w/a sps model must be wood gun lovers -i'd take the sps over the wood as far as field performance goes anyday. You'll find that there is no such thing as a perfect coyote gun because coyotes are tough and hard to get a good shot on.They rarely stand still when called -they sneak in behind you -they hide behind sagebrush and watch you -then a ******* coyote will run towards you when you least expect it like it's trying to tackle you. Get something w/ low recoil and shoot it alot -and always use shooting sticks if you call them in ,shooting sticks are invaluable for shots out to 300yds. Good luck-----Mike [/QUOTE]
