[QUOTE="westcliffe01, post: 819932, member: 35183"] Killing coyotes doesn't require fragmentation. Unless you order a custom barrel, you are going to have a hard time shooting 80gr bullets that are made in that caliber and which are needed to stretch out the range if there is any wind blowing. I spent $285 and bought a used Savage 270 Win, then $350 for a 6.5x284 barrel, another $50 for a precision barrel nut and recoil lug, $160 on a hogue stock, that gets us to $845 for a custom rifle. Add $95 for a steel 20moa scope base and $850 for a Viper 6x24 FFP scope and the whole deal is under $1800. No custom gunsmithing either, thus no delay except for waiting on the barrel. I have Berger 140's and I'm sure it will kill a coyote just fine even at 1200 yards... [/QUOTE]
