[QUOTE="Tim Behle, post: 25183, member: 523"] One thing we can sure definitely agree on, the coyotes don't hold still for very long. I'm lucky to get one shot over 300 yards every third time I go out. I'm not to worried about wind however. One of the great things about the valley I live in, is that for 10 months a year, there is virtually no wind the first couple of hours of daylight each day. Which fortunately coincides with the time of day my range finder works the best. Once I spot one and get him ranged and the elevation added to the scope, I can usually get him to stop for a few seconds with a bark or howl. But if I miss, he's off and running. The only time I ever get a second shot is if I hit a little far back and put one into the "spin cycle" I think I'm still going to have the rifle built. Just lower my expectations a little. Maybe if I tinker with it long enough, I'll end up with a nice surprise. How much can sleeving the bolt help? Any preferences for a muzzle brake? Tim [/QUOTE]
