BUILD ONE!
For the average guy who has some skills but doesn't own or know how to operate a lathe and mill. It's very rewarding to build/assemble a Savage semi custom. I built it for out west hunting and was successful in shooting a lope @ 450 off a back pack and Muley @ 125 off hand. It's a good feeling.:D

Sorry for delay getting back to ya my computer has a mind of its own. I had to give it a time out.

Waiting on a call to hunt yotes 260 Acres+.

Let me know if you hear anything on fur prices, if there the same as last year it'll be worth going out Dec - March.

I think I have a bit more incentive for making it up to the U.P..

I've been talking to a guy about 37 Acres and now looks like the best time to move on it, in a great location surrounded by Paper land on a Dead end road.

Already talked with the neighbors sound like great folks, old family from that area, road named after them,lol.

Good Morning Gene sounds good, and thanks, trying to see how it can all come together.

I'm getting things set up in my shop to start making calls along with other things.

Have you read this article here on LRH: http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f5/pass-shooting-coyotes-65094/

Pretty interesting, love learning.

I'll be sure to post you if i'm able to make it up when we get closer to that time.

Thanks for that piece of information Korhil78, much appreciated.
I'm looking forward to the time of zero with this barrel configuration, and will post my findings for all when I do

I use 54 gr of H4831SC with 115 gr Bergers. The velocity is right at 3050 fps. My barrel is only 24" long so you can expect more velocity out of the 28" barrel!
