[QUOTE="Ohlongarm, post: 2003593, member: 112151"] You're thinking is on track, but practice is key, I wouldn't shoot a coyote unless it was high neck or head.Ammunition is critical,Only use CCI Velocitor,Aguila interceptor hollow point 40 grain,or Winchester power point 42 grain ,of the three CCI Velocitor will give the best terminal ballistics,followed by Aguila,. Winchester has the lowest velocity ,but will get the job done if the shot is good. If I only had a 22 to use I'd still kill a measly 30 to 50 a year,DRT. Practice is key, practice on an egg sized target at 100 yards,if you can hit a dozen eggs in a row call yourself ready. Go with a minimum 10X scope, make sure the rifle has a good crisp trigger,and don't skimp on a rifle,CZ,Tikka will shoot about anything fed them. With repetitive practice a 22 in a hunting scenario will drop em out to 150,head shots, any further and I'd grab another caliber. Very easy to get within 100 yards of coyotes,in most cases terrain factors into the equation. [/QUOTE]
