[QUOTE="dun, post: 20656, member: 34"] When you through wolf into the mix that really starts getting away from the 22 calibers. A good heavy barrelled (good=accurate) varmint rifle with an excellent trigger in in 6mm Rem would be just about perfect. For only up to and includidng coyote, depending on the ranges and light wind conditions, anything from .219 Donaldson Wasp up yo probably the new .223 WSSM would be the cats meow. Id you have much wind and the range is going to be in the 300 + range, your back to the 6mm. That all being said, whatever you already have that is accurate enough for the ranges you'll be shooting will work well also. Yesterday I just picked up a 22-250 in a Savage heavy varmint with their new trick trigger. The choices were from that to a Browning 223 WSSM, a Ruger .220 Swift, all in varmint weights. I prefer the stainless and the new trigger. If I could have found a heavy varmint in 6mm in a model 700, or better yet a Savage I would have jumped on that. Around here when the wind blows it blows so hard I don;t want to be out in it anyway. In the desert if you waited for calm winds you'ld never leave the house. dun [/QUOTE]
