Northland replied to my email, they are 4 months out at least.I would call northland shooters supply too. I have got two barrels, two actions, and a few triggers. James is great to deal with.

AR 15 with Sierra game king bullet! This load will not fit the magazine but you only need one clean shot! Insert the " bobsled" in the mag holder and it's easy to load another round! Have shot it at steel plates out to 1000 yards. Any 22 caliber would work nicely (22-259 for example and several others, just don't use VMax if you want the pelts.OK, Looking to do a build "Just" for hunting "yotes"
Long distance. Bolt action
What's the thoughts of calibers.
Now having said this I want them to fall over dead
but I don't want to blow them apart.
Ditto the 22 Creedmoor for a fast 22, also like the small primer option. Have it chambered for the projectiles you intend to use. Haven't owned one but after wearing out three 22.250 barrels and not being happy with any, think this is a good option. If you need anyone to bash the 22.250 you have come to the right place.As a guess, you probably want something in the 65-80gr range pushing 3000+ FPS. Off the shelf stuff, a 22-250 fits the description very well. 22 creedmoor will be the same thing but better (and probably more expensive across the board). .243 or 6mm creedmoor will probably do what you want but may be a bit on the overkill side. On the light side, you may be able to get a .223 remington to do what you want to. My vote would go to 22-250 all day.
I went 6.5 grendel for hogs and yokes. Very effective near and far. Not exactly a 1000yd gun of choice but can be done. The 6 creed however can varmints to 600 and ring steel pretty effectively. Plenty of other good choices out there also.A lot of people went with 6.5 mm as a caliber in differing cartridges . I went with a 6.5 x 284 Norma for my 1000 yard rifle . Several people went with 6 mm 's as well . A lot of it depends on what weight of bullet you are thinking about using , how fast you want it to travel and how well you need it to perform in the weather conditions you have on average . I wanted to run a 120 grain bullet so went with a 1:9 twist and used Nosler ballistic tip bullets , they had a good BC did what I needed them to . The thing for me was to decide what bullet weight I wanted to use . Then decide how fast I wanted it to travel and how well I wanted it to perform at different ranges . It's a personal choice and a lot of things to consider do some studying figure out what you really want it to do for your needs and go from there .
I really like this .22 Creedmoor, and I'm also learning a "lot" of guns are not 1000 yarders per séI went 6.5 grendel for hogs and yokes. Very effective near and far.

out at a 1000, but again I want something left of them, for making a coat, hats and other things, sell pelts from time to time.
Hey Dogz, I'm not hunting them as of now, wanting to build a rifle too.Gotta ask, how many yotes are you taking a year and what's your longest kill on one to date?
True Dat!!!MI.264 , If you intend to call long range isn't really a big concern . Over the years , I did it as a profession for more then 36 years , I had just a few times that coyote stayed out very far my farthest shot was at 643 lasered and that was with my 30-06 running 150 grain bullets that I hand loaded . If you want to just set and look for coyote to shoot at longer distances then that is another story . but for the most part with calling you will be under 100 yards and often fast action . I did build a 6.5x284 for longer shots because I wanted to see if I could shoot a coyote at a 1000 yards but didn't ever get that chance with it . Studying and figuring out what I wanted to build then the build were the fun part of that project and the 1000 yard coyote ended up being the excuse that I used to build it . So after all the time spent studying on it deciding what bullet I wanted to use , figuring what action and barrel to use and what stock I wanted putting it together for around 3000.00 dollars I only got to shoot a few coyote at 500 yards and under with it but knew that I could run an 8 inch group at 1000 yards and shoot a coyote if the chance were to present it's self . So in reality it wasn't about killing a coyote at 1000 yards as much as it was about building a rifle that was able to .
