    Savage Barrel Upgrade- .243 to .308

    Thread pitch and shank diameter is what interfaces between the barrel and receiver. A Remington Sendaro is a Remington 700 and its thread pitch and diameter on the barrel and by association the receiver is different than a Small shank Savage. The other member with a barrel that just catches a...

    Savage Barrel Upgrade- .243 to .308

    Make sure the barrel you have or are buying is a small shank. The member who heard that a Savage and a Rem Sendero can interchange barrels is wrong. No dice. Go to the Savage Shooters forum to learn about Savages. Three44s

    7mm Rem Mag on coyotes

    My brother had just bought his brand new Browning Medalion A Bolt in 300 Win Mag. He and his friends went out night hunting. He spotted a coyote standing facing at 250 yds. Hit him head on and he said the coyotes eyes did a one and half backward gainger! Coyote Olympics I tell ya! Three44s

    204 Ruger options? Tikka? Ruger?

    My first .204 was a Savage build utilizing a long varmint weight barrel used off the internet. A real shooter! Sub .2” at 100 It was too cumbersome for day to day ranching and I found a 24” sporter barrel and it wears it to this day. The sporter settled in as a sub .3” and losing .1” in...

    Anybody do any baiting of coyotes?

    I had a cow get immobilized while calving. This is where their nerve that functions their hind quarters gets pinched by the fetus passing through the birth canal. As the calf was being born the coyotes ate on it killing it. The cow in distress prolapsed and thus her uterus was exposed and...

    Advice for hunting coyotes close to a house

    Oklahoma says no nights with ‘otes. My State looks at depredation differently. Whether Oklahoma values chickens and ducks and whether you can elicit help from a local game warden is another matter. A lot of Wildlife Departments like to lecture stock owners about making it harder for the...

    243 loads

    In 44 years I have never met a coyote that could argue with a 243 Win. so any bullet that expands decently will kill them decisively. Beyond that, if it’s accurate and flies to your criteria what more than you ask for? My old stand by is no longer made .... the Hornady 75 gr HP flat base but I...

    Night hunting

    ATN Thor Thermal on an AR15 in 223 and a CZ 527 in 204 Ruger topped with a Coyote Light in red along with another in red for scanning. My Thor is the older style with the 100 mm objective. It weighs just under 3# but pulls in images from WAY yonder. I have detected a small number of scattered...

    exciting cartridges

    Exciting cartridge? That would be my Savage wearing a 25 bore savage original tube reamed out to 257 STW. Now that is pizzaz! Turns a hide into shredded blown dried strips and will not fit into that model 7 though. Leave the seven as is and test bullets until you get a real burning desire to...

    Coyote killed my dog.

    Numbers do count. Coyotes are “gut pullers”, that is how they kill baby calves and they certainly can not fight back. A tough dog can only fight on one end. Multiple coyotes will find a blind spot. Three44s
