[QUOTE="johngfoster, post: 174745, member: 9104"] This makes sense to me. I think the first question should be what you want to do with the animal once you've shot it. If you're shooting coyotes and trying to sell the fur, then there aren't any great options if you're trying to get out to 750yd. A 22-250 with a 75gr A-MAX I think is about as good as you will get for this. If you don't want to save the fur, then why not keep it simple: Tactical .308 Win with 168 or 175 gr SMK built on a Rem 700 action? Ammo is cheap, and accurate, and brass is plentiful. Barrel life is excellent. You could also load up 110 gr V-MAX, but I don't have any experience with these at those distances. Performance should be good on the animal, but accuracy and range I don't know. [/QUOTE]
