Ok I got this darn gun money burning a hole in my pocket not enough to get alot of stuff but enough to get something good. I dont really need anything but well who really has self control.
I have been wanting a coyote hunting rifle with a little more pop than my 204. I am thinking a 243 with a berger or vmax in the 60-75 gr range would be sweet medicine
I found a place that is closing out the XHR and after the 100 dollar rebate the final price is under 500 bucks! SO I am thinking hard about this I handled one a while back it was a long action but I really liked the way it handles and balances.
I am also considering the VTR which I like the shorter barrel but not sure about the break.. Is it enough to keep me in the scope? If not I may as well stick with the XHR as it is a little lighter and I could always chop the barrel. This would also be a good buy about 50 more than the XHR.
One final rifle that keeps calling me is the savage combo the cheapie black one with the cheapo scope and non accutrigger. they can be had around these parts for 369. I like the 22" pipe and the detachable mag. I respect savage but I dont have anything but BIG GREEN in my safe as of now so I am not sure if I want to mix things up.
No matter what I get I will still have enough left over to restock another rifle and get one of those redfields for it too.
Ok let me throw one more log on the fire here I am also thinking XHR in 25.06 I mean the 25.06 does everything the 243 does only better right? It would be a dedicated coyote rig as I already load for another 25.06
