[QUOTE="strombeckj, post: 457987, member: 28471"] Sounds like you may be looking along the lines of a dedicated coyote rifle since you already have a “varmint” rig. If this is the case…. .243 would be my pick. I have a friend who owns the savage 10 Predator combo in .243. I would call it “hunting accurate” with the right ammo it is a MOA rifle all day long... 1/2 and under probably not, 3/4, I would say yes. I would not hesitate to pull the trigger on a yote or deer with it…save the light, fast shooting .22 for PD’s I have only read articles and reviews online about the model seven, all seem to tote it as a good rifle. Heck, if you reload I would even consider the savage 110 predator in the 6.5x284…same price!lightbulb If you want 1/2 MOA. I think a savage would get you closer then a model seven. But I think a Model 700 would be better. (after market/smith friendly) I have 3 guys I shoot with who have sps varmint rigs and do very well with them. Again...something in a 6mm, .25 or 6.5mm would be my choice for a dedicated coyote rig. Maybe that's why I'm having a 6-06 built as we speak [/QUOTE]
