i have seen both 7mm mag and 264mag like that . very early model 700's. i would contact remington for the what and why.

the senderos in all calibers are great. my nephew shot a nice coues last yeat with my brothers .264 . awesome. it is a stock sendero, shilen trigger, leup 6.5-20 w/turret, vais brake. ron in flag

APache12- my dad was one of the first in az to call coyotes; 1952. i called my first one in when i was eleven. you can call them close to town . i wish i could get my son inlaws vid clip on youtube. called in 5. cars honking and roosters crowing in east mesa. i like to call where no one else has. it is easier. the educated ones are hard. also coyotes are a small challenging target. watch a few calling videos. make sure your rifle is sighted in and accurate. if you can go out with someone you has called some in. i do not use a shotgun. some areas that hold coyotes are so brushy a good shotgunner with 4 buck can be very productive.

nice! i shoot a lot of 123 scenars in mine. in fact the only time i shoot 139's is for 1000 yard matches. for hunting i use a 120 balistic. enjoy.

i would use H-4350 in the 300 and 270. and varget or I4064 in the .243

WLRM for the 300. 210m for the other two.

i shoot in competition and hunting. i have vais breaks on my magnums and wish i had had one put on my 6.5-284. i can were muffs and puffs at the range and pufss when i am hunting.

i would get her a remington 700 hvy barrel in either 243 or 22-250. or maybe a 25-06.

what rifle? what binos?

there is an article in precision shooting a month back about the 7mm mag . it mentions the use of a 120 bullet . on paper not as good as some others with a higher bc. my buddy has killed 30 coues with it. 7 stw sendero. most important is a rifle capable of the accuracy needed at distance . most factory rifles are unable to do it. next comes the bullet selection. shooting some bullets over time will prove .

the rifle and scope are more important/"bigger decision " than caliber. also it depends on what deer and what unit you are going to hunt.

my adl ( 1969) and my two senderos shoot great and have great triggers. i sho0t 140 accubond and 168 bergers . i have also shot 139 hornady. usually H4831 powder.

do you like the rifle. the rifle is more important than the caliber. a 300 weatherby has a lot of power . it is a proven long range target round in an accurate rifle. ALL my mags have breaks.

my gunsmith will only rebarrel remington 700 or custom actions

apache- i bet they have never shot a rifle with a krieger barrel. factory barrels or custom barrels each react differently. the factory barrels are tougher to get to shoot good clean of dirty.

nice . much bigger than my 6"X6".

if predators were not a problem the difference in fawn survival inside and out side the fence at three bar would be the same.instead the fawn survival inside is 100% outside 17. besides deer , lions do kill badger fox and elk. mostly deer. i know a lion hunter collared a lion and followed it and the kills for two years. it killed and ate a lot of deer. and becuase coyotes and other animals eat the lion kill; the areas with higher coyote numbers it killed more often. 40 a year i believe. the coues seem to be holding their own but mule deer south of the colorado river are really at a low.

i hunted 36b early. saw deer. no lions. it would be worth the price of a 5-r to me; to just glass up a lion. that is a Huge loss. ron in flag

AIRBUS- the .243 is an accurate and deadly round. if you are not going to hunt deer right away( this year) you could shoot lighter 60-85 grain bullets on coyotes and targets ect then sight in with the heavier ones when drawn. i killed most of my deer with an 85 sierra bthp handload. they are offered by federal in a factory load.

DESERTHNTR- plenty of hunters shoot sheep that are less than 160 . check the game and fish stats on their web sight. that is a nice ram. he may be in a unit that has 180's i guess. roninflag

mikes has the right idea. my super grade and my sendero have kept all the loads i have tried under an inch usuall a lot less. 71.0 4350 and a 165 or 168.

it was an unusual year. my son and i shot 16 shots by 9 am counting the ones at coyotes and coues. i carry enough so that i don't need to worry about being short . varies.

Prowler- i have loaded for my two 300 wm, and several other buddies' sendero 300wm. i have it to be a very forgiving round to load for. only the 222 and 308 are EASIER to find a good load for.

i tried to repond in the positive. . as bad at computers as bear hunting.

better yet get a remington with a krieger barrel.
