    As bow hunters as a whole most of us really dislike coyotes and other predators. So let's see the guns you use to hunt them.

    Here's mine that I just finished the paint job on and mounted a new scope. Savage Axis 25-06 with a Redhead Pursuit 6-24x24 scope.

    Savage axis in .223 need to get out and kill some yotes but moving into the new house has been time consuming.

    I have a Remington 700 Varmint .223, has the heavy bull barrel. Has that junk Remington scope on it for now, but I will be ordering a Vortex Diamondback 4-12x40 AO scope most likely. I don't have pics right now, but I'll get some taken and edit this post.

    This is all I use for now. Hoping to pick up a bolt action sometime this year and use it strictly for coyotes. Probably another .223, .22-250, or .243.
