    Need some help on rifle decision

    Another sako vote - even if it is a used rifle off of here or gunbroker. Building one is fun, because you get exactly what you want. It can be done for well under $4k pretty easy with optics and shopping around.

    Do you hunt from home?

    Yes - I am very lucky and have great neighbors. I have around 800 acres I can hunt out my back door for whitetail, turkeys, and coyotes. My favorite is the ability to hunt after work, that way I save my PTO for western trips.

    New Iron Will Turkey Broadhead Testers Wanted!

    I haven’t attempted to fill my fall tag yet, but this would be a great excuse to get out there! I have ~50 roosting daily on my property, so wouldn’t take long.

    Pulling my hair out...Mornings only!

    Do you get picks after dark of them moving through to feed (they just don’t make it to you before dark)? If not they are just taking a different route to feed every night and you need to figure out where that is. By now everything is messed up anyways - doe will be bedding in weird places...

    Thanks - I will survive without one or two rokstocks for a while longer!

    What bullet for 22-250 & coyotes

    22 creed yes, but it would need to me a slow twist. Personally I wouldn’t build a new gun $$$ and bank on finding an accurate load at 4k+. I would plan on 38-3900 out of a 24/26” barrel.

    What bullet for 22-250 & coyotes

    I haven’t noticed a difference in performance on the BTs vs vmax. Haven’t done necropsy, just field observations. I was hoping the solid base would help on quartering shots, but still doesn’t compare to the 55gr sierras.

    The 22 creedmoor thread

    Picked up my barreled action this week - Bighorn origin and a 20ish” proof 1:8 barrel. Shot 25 rounds through it to zero just now. AVG 3104 fps 52fps spread with factory ammo - 80gr ELDMs. Will be impatiently waiting for Rokstocks to be available again.

    Nebraska Public land Yote hunting

    Compared to Wyoming/Montana you will be disappointed. Not a ton of public land and it gets pounded by every other type of hunter, including coyote hunters. If you can get permission on continuous pieces of land you will have a much better hunt.

    Constantly Swirling Wind

    It is more stable than you think, just have to use the terrain/thermals/prevailing wind to your advantage. Most of the areas I hunt have a west prevailing wind - on north/south ridges it’s almost guaranteed to be pushing up on one side and down on the other (N vs S) Certain spots...

    Carbon vs Stainless.....20in barrel

    No - you can order a stainless that will weigh the same as a 20” carbon if you get the right contour. Save some money and have the same performance. The last barrel I ordered was carbon, simply because it was in stock and I didn’t want to wait months for a stainless.

    The 22 creedmoor thread

    Should be similar to other varmint bullets which gives you the same results in certain circumstances. Will knock them down but they have tiny vitals, so poor shots will give you runners - they are also tiny targets. Most shots on coyotes that have been called in are quartering to or away not...

    Field scoring challenge…if you are worthy

    I’m going 148”. Very cool buck!

    What bullet for 22-250 & coyotes

    1:12 24” barrel - 50gr vmax is at 4050fps and my 55s are at 3700fps with cfe. Never loaded the 53s but I wouldn’t expect 4k out of them.

    What bullet for 22-250 & coyotes

    This bullet is great especially on quartering too shots when you need more penetration. I have the same POI for these 50gr vmax and 55 nosler BT. The sierra is my favorite and I haven’t noticed a difference is nosler vs vmax.

    Mouth call vs Electronic call

    Yes and No - if they are educated to standard distress like rabbit - doing the same thing with a hand call produces the same results. If they don’t respond you just have to keep trying until you figure out what works. If you have a good ecaller and can load new sounds there isn’t a huge...

    Tripod for Shooting 300 Yards and Under?

    Should be pretty solid in lower positions - I’ve used much lighter ones. I got the heavier one without center column for shooting standing up (hunting coyotes at night).

    Tripod for Shooting 300 Yards and Under?

    Innerol on Amazon is a pretty affordable option for a heavy duty tripod. I have a RT90 that works well.
