Guest adamc Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 I would have to say a .22-250, .223, or .243. I recently bought a handi rifle in .243 and shot a hog saturday with it and it performed excellent. I plan on using it as kind of an all around gun. (hogs,deer, varmits...)Espically since you can get many different grain loads for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest buddy ahart Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 Re: best gun for coyotes????? .22-250 best long range shooting gun imo but it depends on your area if your not ganna be shooting past 200yds then you could go with the smaller gun even a shotgun could be a good yote gun if you can get them in close.

Shaun_300 Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 Re: best gun for coyotes????? I'd say the .22-250 hands down! Maybe a .220 Swift if you're taking really long shots. But a .22-250 is an awesome long range and accurate caliber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WaCoyote Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 Re: best gun for coyotes????? 22-250 if you don't reload. 220 swift if you do. 22-250 ammo is cheap, but swift is spendy in comparison to other varmint stuff. Swift and 250 are the same size pill but the swift is a "hotter" cartridge. It is REALLY fast. I bought a 250 because I couldn't find a swift and didn't want to wait. I in no way regret it but deep down I wish I had a swift. Someday!! Realistically speaking the 250 can do everything the swift can do. It just moves a little slower.

Jeramie Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 Re: best gun for coyotes????? Personally, .223. Dont get me wrong. The 22-250 is a great cal. but the ammo isnt nearly as cheap as a .223. If youre like me a 200yrd shot is pretty much as long as youll poke on a regular basis and the .223 is very capable of making that shot. You just cant beat the price of .223 ammo.

huntinguide Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 Re: best gun for coyotes????? i love the .204-22-250, 243 they all are winners in my book. The .204 is just so much fun to shot cause no recoil and you go see that little bullet blow stuff to pices in your scope. " it can get dirty". If i had to pick it would be.... well i like them all i cant choose one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhunt Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 Re: best gun for coyotes????? I want a .223 for varmints. Usually just take my wifes .243 for hunting yotes. Have shot them with the .270 too though and it works quite well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captkb44 Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 Re: best gun for coyotes????? From .204 to .243 and shotguns (20 ga. / 12 ga. / & 10 ga.) with 3" magnums work great. The best gun would be the one you feel most comfortable and confidient in shooting. I have a .204 and .243 and both work great on predators. I will be buying a 22-250 ASAP................do I need one? No, but I want one. The two rifles I have now work just fine, but I think getting a 22-250 would fill the gap between the two.
