What’s your go to predator rifle?

[Hunter55]

I almost built a 243 in AR even bought the AR10 receiver set. Last minute I got cold feet and went with the AR15 platform. Maybe one day I’ll get a round to it. Very nice.

I have a pair of 243's for day and night, both DPMS G2, which are much lighter/smaller than the typical AR-10 but not as small as a 15. Both lasers with 87's, one the bthp, the other Vmax. IMO those G2's should have caught on in a big way but Rem took DPMS down with them.

 

[Hunter55]

It gets it done. If it weren’t for NY laws requiring sub 22 cal centerfire rifles at night in certain units during deer seasons, I would just stick with the 243 now. The 204 has done me well though.

Shotguns don’t see a lot of action, but every now and again I get the urge to get up close and personal!

 

[Hunter55]

I use custom Zastava m85 bolt action in 223rem.

 

[Hunter55]

Carry both in the same gun.

what bullet are you using with your .204? I've had good luck with 40gr Vmax in my .204

40gr Nosler Ballistic Tips and Berger 35gr hollow points. Both have performed great on coyotes.

I'm not a big fan of the 20 cal Vmax for coyotes. Had some splashes with them. The NBT 40 and Berger 35 give me better terminal performance.

I'll have to give them a try, I've had a few runners with the Vmax

My oldest son and I built a 6creed on an old rem 700 platform, and that’s what I’ve been using lately with 87gr hornady factory vmaxes. They wreck a coyote. The only drawback is that my son is a very large individual and doesn’t mind carrying that heavy rifle around. The rifle has a heavy 26” barrel, a grayboe stock and an Arken scope & it’s gotta be 15+ lbs. I’m thinking about going back to one of my lighter ar platforms. I’ve got a 223, a 6arc, and a 6.5 grendel and I have way more ammo for those 3 guns than the creed anyway. I just wish they were as accurate as our creed.

I'd agree with that statement, I trim as much fat off a rifle as I can in my mature years.

Love a short rifle for coyotes & I like your camo pattern, Murl! Coyotes seem to like it (or not) just as well; looks like it works great for ya.

 

[Murl B]

hm1996, No need for camo on my rifles, only thing a Predator is going to see is the little black hole on the Muzzle. Murl B.

 

[Murl B]

And i might add I have been shooting Predators since before they invented camo. and I don't care for Camo but I do have some Camo Bib's that are very warm. Murl B.

Do not wear anything camo except for my rain suit.Plaid shirts,plaid Asbell Wool coat,green or grey pants.No movement with cover behind to break up outline seems to work pretty good for me.Gloves too.Called my first coyote in 1972
