I recently bought my girlfriend a rifle off of snipershide for her to shoot coyotes with and shoot a match if she wants.
Specs:
243 AI
True remington 700
Broughton 1-8 m 40 contour
McMillan A5 with saddle cheek
Spuhr mount
Schmidt and bender 5-25×56 pm II
TAB sling
Will try to get some photos up here shortly.
 
Sounds as if it is a well-thought out rifle for her. It will definitely put the hurt on yodel dogs. What bullet will you be loading?
 
Should work well mike, I will be using the 105 berger hybrid. This should operate around 3200-3250ish. She drew an antelope tag so I guess I justified the purchase that way. I guess if she doesn't like it I can find a use for it??? Ha. I will get some photos up soon.

I think between the two, we should be able to kill a few coyotes this year.

Gorgeous rifle. The 6mm really intrigues me. Flat shooting and almost no recoil. Them 'yotes are in for it!
 
Dang....she must be quite a girl! Nice stick. Looking forward to seeing some range reports.
 
The rifle certainly looks all business. Did she pick the colours? :grin:
 
Nice looking rig Jeff, those yotes have to know you guys are plotting up on them so it's great that she will be able to reach out and touch them ! How heavy is it? Good luck on the speed goat as they are elusive once they bust ya!
 
Both of those rifles look like they are all business ! I believe they both will reach out and touch something at quite a distance :wink:. I will be looking forward to a range reports and the up coming winter coyote hunts :), sure hope there are photos with those reports..

Blessings,
Dan
 
Thanks guys, as far as weight, heavy. I didn't draw a tag for antelope but she did, go figure. Maybe I will put a coyote tally in the hunting column if your interested, good crop of them this year. I figured out how to post pics so that will help. I will let you know how it shoots, if it doesn't shoot well, it will be in the for sale section, ha.
