[QUOTE="Three44s, post: 904276, member: 43573"] TexasBrett, You are asking to take on a pretty large task all at once! We raise cattle as well so I understand your "love" of these predators. Now a .22-250 and a .270 is a pretty good proposition but you are asking to go beyond normal coyote ranges. And you have think about the safety of your livestock. After all, what you lose an animal to matters not ........ I have always worried about drilling one of our stock but thus far ......... I am lucky. I hunt at night mostly. I don't forsee you just gearing up and dropping coyotes all the way out to 750 ....... all in one big 'ole jump! I don't really envision it .......... even in the long run but certainly it can happen now and then. If you REALLY want to max your range, I'd suggest either a heavy 6mm cartridge or a 6.5mm of the same persuasion. I have some .25-06's and notice I did not mention them. That's because the bullet makers have not seemed to produce slugs with the kind of aerodynamic efficiency that they have with 6mm or 6.5mm bore size. Since you have a fixed location for your hunt, you might add this trick: The fellow had their house right adjacent to an area rich with coyotes. Their bedroom was on the second floor of their house. The guy kept his rest and rifle out and set his alarm to sound off every two hours. He had yardage stakes set at specified ranges. He'd hit his light and shoot what presented itself. You have Savage rifles ........ a long action and a short action. You have in those two rifles the platforms for success. You don't have to spend a fortune with a gunsmith ....... buy the tools and do the work yourself! There are any number of barrels available! Also, you will need to handload to reduce shot to shot variations. Best of luck Three44s [/QUOTE]
