Ok, here's the dirt
This is going to a a coyote rifle...only. So, I have settled on the 243 and here's why. Yes, I have two other 243's; however, my heavy barrel 243 is a beutiful Savage put together by me strictly for prairie dogs and I don't really want it to get messed up hunting coyotes. My other 243 is a m700 ADL that's about 20 years old. Wood stock, sporter barrel, also a pretty gun that I don't want to get messed, but hunt deer with from time to time. All my other 22's are pretty near and dear to my heart as well accept the 22-250 that I've decided to give to my Dad. The 220 Swift is a number one and again, to beutiful to get beat up. The 223 WSSM is kinda the freak of the safe. Hardly ever gets shot. It's a m70 coyote with a medium barrel and laminate stock. Great performer, just don't know how much barrel life it will have. My 223 is a cheap little savage with composite stock that does a good job but just doesnt have the range a 243 will. So, there it is, it's going to be another 243!
What the platform will be is open for suggestion
