Just a few of my tools...






Ran the last season with the little 22br...fantastic cartridge.

The two rifles I used most are:

Tikka 223 CTR


Terminus 6 Creed (generally with my thermal on it)


Both have accounted for a pile of critters.

Love the Zeus QC build!

Thanks! It’s been a good one. 18” 6 Creed is pretty handy with the compact stock.

My day setup is an Impact NBK 18” 6 creed in a XLR magnesium chassis with a Thunderbeast ultra 7 with a Nightforce SHV 4-14. I chambered myself it runs a 75 gr vmax at 3550.

Night time setup is another Impact NBK 75 deg bolt 24” 22 creed 1:12 twist XLR magnesium chassis with a AB Warthog can and a Super Yoter that I also chambered that runs a 53 gr vmax at 3900.

Ooh! Handy-looking short little setup there! What cartridge and barrel length is that?

Oh Cool! A local LGS actually has a Howa they're offering with Yote camo on it in 22 ARC. At a reasonable price.

How ya liking that 22 ARC? Would you say you even notice a difference in Terminal performance when compared to a .223 Rem? I mean I'm sure the ability to go up in gr weight in projectile helps w wind-deflection, so probably better accuracy at distance?

What's your initial impression so far of that cartridge?

 

[huntsman22]

with 88's it beats anything outta a vanilla 223.

Edit: I put this is the wrong thread. Oh well, my rifle is in it.

I've passed up a LOT of coyotes and foxes the past year or so, holding out for the rare bobcat or mountain lion that has yet to materialize on longer stands, but I decided this season I'm going to be less selective.

I didn't even put out the e-caller this week when I spotted this coyote across a small basin.

17 cal Berger 25gr hp at 4000 fps muzzle velocity dropped this coyote at 270 yards almost instantly. I was impressed with how the bullet performed--small hole in and nothing out.

So which .17 cartridge is it chambered for? I'm guessing .17 Rem?

Not far off. It's a KAK Industry .17-5.56 barrel, which is basically a .17-.223.
