For a coyote gun, I'm considering a 22/250. I like the Savage Model 12.
Should I consider other calibers, or is this a good choice?

I used to trap professionally, (two winters before the price crash at the
end of the 80s) but never seemed to have enough money for a good rifle. I
did however read The Trapper and Predator Caller magazine for several
years, and a good quality 22-250 seemed to be the rifle of choice by all
the callers writing articles for them. If you are in circumstance where
you might get multiple targets in rapid succession the usual preference
according to my gunsmith buddy is to glass bed the chamber (thick part of
the barrel) and action and float the barrel.

I had a Ruger mini-14 and it sucked. I never did figure out how to zero
it in until years after I sold it. It did however do a pretty good job of
dropping them if I could hit them.

I have 2 Mini-14s and they will both dot an "I" right out of the box. What
was the issue with yours?

Mine shot great when I was younger and could see better. It's pre
ranch rifle, so I haven't mounted a scope. The B-Square mount would
interfere with my brass catcher, but maybe I'll try one anyway.
