[QUOTE="ol mike, post: 229300, member: 4683"] There's a savage predator 204 w/a simmons 4x12 42 scope on 24hr campfire sceen name "mistem" -asking $625 -very good looking rifle in "as new" condition. '' No need for a Varmint specific model? '' -NO -they are no more accurate than a sporterweight rifle ,-until- multiple shots have been fired.Although an 8.5lb. rifle isn't that heavy -it's 10-11 pounders that get heavy after 5 miles. Heavy barrels are for colony varmints and firing long strings in competition. I've never seen a need for a heavy barrel w/ coyotes -ever. I bought into the hype of a big ole mean heavy barreled VARMINT buster w/a 6x24-50 scope useless IMO.. A 204 sporterweight rifle is almost a varmint barrel due too the small caliber ! The more weight you carry the more your heart rate will be up -when you hike up a hill/mountain and spot a coyote the sooner you can steady your heart and breathing for the shot the better. I keep myself in good shape and my mentality is the less weight you carry the farther you can go -and the hunt is more enjoyable. Good luck w/your choice -Mike If you have any questions on tuning/bedding etc. let us know ! [/QUOTE]
