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.

1912 Stevens .22 Comp rifle. 5 round clip, bolt action. Pretty sure it
takes .22 LR. It is scoped out and ready for deployment. The most
accurate rifle I have ever had. Heavy MF though.
