I like that, hshunter! I even have that same tripod. Scott

Thanks, guys. I am thinking 6mm BR is about the biggest I want to do right off the bat. I was thinking some about shooting this thing in the field. It will be hard to get a shot from a low position, so I was thinking about shooting from a tripod. The idea would be to fix a flat plate to...

Hi guys, I took delivery of a stainless Encore frame today. I have plans to make it my coyote pistol for out to around 500 yards, but I am not sure how to proceed. The plan is to put a 15" heavy stainless .223 barrel on (1:9?), maybe also a 6mm BR. I want to find someone who can do a...

Thanks, lerch. Actually 105 A-Max is my normal load, but I'm out of bullets right now. I lob them out at about 2800 fps using H1000 to conserve barrel life. (Some competition shooters have been getting over 3000 rounds out of theor barrels loading like that.) I was worried they wouldn't open...

Thanks, guys. I'll work up a load and try 'em out. Scott

Hi Guys, Just a quick question: What do you think of Nosler 80-gr Ballistic Tip bullets in a .243 Win for Coyotes? Expected muzzle velocity 3300 to 3400 fps, max range 650 yards. I am looking for a quick kill above other considerations. I can get other bullets, but I found a box of these...

I searched the Savage site and didn't find anythink on bolt pistols. Does Savage still make them? Scott

[ QUOTE ] The 6BR is a great cartridge, but I don't think it will give you the performance you are wanting on yotes beginning @ 500 yards and further. [/ QUOTE ] .243 Win then? Geez, this sounds like it is starting to get into high levels of recoil. And $1800+ might be a deal breaker on the...

I am thinking HS Precision in 6mm BR, maybe shooting a Hornady 75-gr V-Max. That wait is a tough one though. I might get a T/C Encore in .223 in the mean time. I have never killed anything with a .223. What is the max. effective range given your choice of bullet in something like an Encore...

Thanks, guys. I gather that Remington no longer makes XP-100s? I called HS Precision just now. They seem to have pretty much what I want in their 2000 VP: mid grip, 15" bbl in 6BR, everything stainless. But . . . delivery time is 4 to 6 MONTHS. Yikes! I was hoping to be well on my way to...

I vaguely remember something about being able to go one way but not the other. Maybe you can make a rifle from a pistol action, e.g., XP-100. Anyway, that doesn't matter much with me because I would buy a complete pistol from a smith. I am thinking I would want as long and heavy a barrel as...

So, you can use a rifle action to build a pistol? What are the rules regarding weight, length, etc., before you start getting into Class III weapons? Scott

Is it awkward to shoot an XP-100 etc. with a rifle scope? Those are pretty big cartridges you guys are talking about. I was sort of expecting 6mm BR or something in that size range. How is muzzle blast and recoil? Scott

Hi Guys, I am thinking about a long range pistol for coyotes. I have seen some pretty neat looking bolt action jobs with heavy barrels, maybe 16 inches(?), and a bipod. I know essentially nothing about it, but thought it might be fun to set up a pistol for shots over 500 yards. How would you...
