[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 551085, member: 30902"] Not a bad start. Rifle, have it pillar and scim bedded and make sure it's fully free floated. Shotgun the 870 is the most reliable and proven shotgun of all time. Get a 12g as you can get cheap ammo anywhere, as well as loads specifically suited to any specific purpose. Get the screw in chokes vs single choke. 10/22 is a great choice, get the bull barrel. You might also consider one in 17HMR as it's a more versatile caliber with better range. Nice flat shooting varmint caliber that'll easily get you to 250 yds. Magnum Research makes them in the .17. .17hmr is also very easy to get ammo for just about anywhere and very reasonably priced. Definitely a decent enough scope to get you to 600yds on coyote or larger game. I generally prefer however the 3.5-10 or 4.5-14 for myself because I like to shoot a lot of itty bitty things at long range. The one I have on my 7STW has worked well on jackrabbits out to 750yds and deer at 1,200yds. When you get out to 1000yds with it though even deer start looking pretty small. [/QUOTE]
