.243 is the way to go for 12 and up.. good for any mid size varmints to big game (deer) hunting

Low recoil, .223, .243, and .204 will do the trick with little to no recoil.

Marlin 336 .30-30 or a Newer Marlin in .308 Marlin express, or like TriggerTime mentioned a pre-64 Model 94

DPMS Panther Arms or Armalite. Probally DPMS. They both make the AR-10(.308). They are wonderful rifle makers.

Yes, use slugs or buckshot, but switching to a rifle is a great idea.

I love using my 223 AR, Mini 14, and Ruger 25-06. Anything bigger seems overkill. He says something bout 5 round clips…..We dont leave the house with any less than 5- 30 round mags…LOL

Im a big deer hunter and i use a 243.savage with synthetic stock and im not sure of the scope but it gets the job done by being able to hit a half inch circle at 100yds. I think it is a very versatile rifle and some people say that this gun is only for varmit like coyotes,groundhogs etc… But ive shot 6 deer with it and had them put down in 1 shot if it was well placed. My dad had shot a doe at 514 yds with it. this is a great rifle so I would considering trying it out.

Hey Trigger Time,
I shoot a bushmaster varminter in .223. What is the best bullet weight and manufacturer, in your opinion, for me to use to drill coyotes at about 200 yards?
TriggerTime308
24 Feb, 2010
If you want a scoped rifle, I would say that any one of the major Manufactures bolt action rifles would do the job great (Remington, Winchester, and Savage are a few affordable choices). These are avail in lightweight models for this purpose. For a non scoped rifle, just leave the scope of any of the above rifles and run with that. Also, There’s nothing wrong with the good old Model 94 Winchester either, .30-.30 Cal.
Hope this helps.

We have never used 22LR to hunt coyotes. The majority of shots that are taken are around the 100 yard range, and in our opinion, 22LR just does not have the energy to take them down clean everytime. I Know of some people who use 22 MAG and have had decent results. But we prefer centerfire cartridges.

what’s the best rifle to use thats accurate but not in the “AR” family. We need our gun to fit in a scabberd but still be able to be very accurate. Also we chase them with dogs so we move alot. Light would be nice

I’ve got a 220 swift this gun is overlooked by many saying the barrel will burn up. My gun has over 1000 rounds through it and i can still hit a horse fly at 100 yds. I have a weaver 3-9 scope trustworthy and with the ruger m-77 220 swift and a 55 grain bullet at 3900 fps its great for p-dogs, yotes, cats and just about anything else you can think of.
