Coyotes and such, I usually run my Specialized Dynamics 65Grendel. Works well on Coozers as well out to 600.

Fun calling and walkabout in the desert I love my Win94 22mag.

I run a Howa 1500 varmint in 223. Its about to get a new barrel but same caliber.

Easy. I don't own a rifle or have a desire to own one. I've taken 14,688 groundhogs with .223 Contender, .22-250 XP, 6mm AL Encore, .250 Sav. AI XP, plus other larger caliber handguns that I use for big game hunting up to a .416 Taylor (that I killed 3 elephant with).

gotta love the pistols for varmints... I've killed thousands of prairie dogs with striker pistols... right now I'm running a 7-08 barrel on my striker; kinda looking for another in 22-250 or a burned up one to hang my barrel on so I can shoot prairie rats with a pistol again...

I currently shoot 22 creedmoor with the 88 ELDM 20" barrel suppressed at 3376 fps. It's my favorite gun and favorite cartridge. Have several 223s in bolts and AR's and still love to shoot them! 20 BR will be my next project. But I would tell anyone to shoot 22 creedmoor! Brass is easy to get now with alpha and Peterson making good stuff. It's easy to tune in my experiences, this is my second 22 CM, and won't be my last
