Which guns do you use for predator hunting?

[Gatorman7]

I use Bushmaster Carbon AR-15/M4 for coyotes. But, .300 Weatherby Win Mag with Hornady Superformance SST 180 gr for Wild Hogs. Gatorman7

Currently I am shooting a thompson center .204 and it has no trouble at all in leveling a coyote, and it is just a fantastic caliber to shoot. I have also used my .300 wm and shotguns, my dad uses his 22-250. But it doesn't matter what you use it only matters if you are enjoying it and killing some yotes.

You forgot to put Single-shot in there. I use two Ruger #1B's! You left out some good ones by leaving that action out.

I have a gp100 in .357 that i love to kill dogs with. I always carry it along with either my ar or my bolt gun. The choice of the second rifle depends on the area I am hunting. In easter WA. I usually bring the bolt gun in western WA. I stick to the ar, these choices are more baised on the rifles set up than personal preferance. The fn pbr is set up fro long range with a millet 4-16x55 optic. The ar however is set up with a decent eye relief for fast targeting. I built the ar from the floor up and set the optic plaform in a forward scout position. Seams to work well in the tight confines of western washington forests.

Howa 1500 in 22-250 is my go to gun on yodel dogs, with any reliable shotgun that will eat hevi shot dead coyote loads as a back up. Man I do love that stuff and they can be way out there for a scatter gun with it

you may now, legally, get AR's in California as long as they have a "Bullet button" installed and meet other criteria...go to Calguns.net for all the info

Not so many predators over here but I run almost all bolt guns and shotguns even though I have permitted semi autos.
Foxes its a Mod 70 .222, Rem 700 .22-250 or T3 25-06 we dont keep skins .
For Wild dogs on the rare occasion I get to hunt them its the 25-06 or CMC .300win mag.
And Feral Pigs a major predator here its any thing from the 22-250 to the 450 rigby and the pump shotguns.
I also shoot a lot of feral cats but for those I prefer a .22 cal 40gn travelling at better than 4000fps like the 22-250 or a 220swift.

.223 is my favorite for varmints and predators.

However, I do love loading my 270 wsm full of rl17 topped with a 90 grain Sierra. 3850fps is too much fun! I don't shoot that combination often to save my throat.

I use a RRAs coyote AR-15 . Here in the RENO NV desert they run in and out with full afterburners.Need multiple shots.

Short bbl 223 on a Contender pistol, Hornaday SJX from under a white sheet in the snow at night. My friend John calls them in with a dieing rabbit call. got a Bobcat at about 20 feet one night!

 

[TRG300WM]

220 AI 55gr and 60gr pills running 3880 - 3750 for 60gr

 

[smokem]

I guess I'm "Old School", so i only use bolt action rifles. I use a .243 with 87 vmaxes, a .223 AI with a 55 vmax and a 6AI with a 87 vmax. I got 2 .308's this year and am shooting a 110 vmax just for fun. They really blow up 2 liter plastic bottles at 200 yards!
If i want to save a pelt I like the .223 AI. If you dont hit bone, little bitty hole in, no hole out!

My best ever day on 'yotes was back in early 90's in NCentral SD while scouting for deer season. Saw 11 shot at 9 and killed 8. The back of my CJ-7 was a little ripe on that ride home. Remington 700 rechambered to 257 Wby

 

[1tonpower]

For me it's my .243 or my shorty AR in .223, depending on ranges. and my .45. when calling the pistol is on the ground for quick and easy access
