long range newbie,
Here's my version of a long range coyote rifle that is pleasant to carry. Borden single shot action. Kreiger barrel, Jewell trigger and Manners Carbon Fiber stock. Chambered in 6 Dasher. The rig, ready to roll, comes in at 9.25 lbs.
Regards,
Paul
Nice Idaho coyote taken at 425 yds.

I hope this works, I've never uploaded pics before so here it goes. This is my first build I just got back not long ago. It's a Beanland built Rem 700 sa, Lilja 12 twist chambered in 22-250AI, Mcmillan A-3 hunter and Shilen trigger w/Tyler trigger shoe. Just started working up loads already getting groups under 1/2" with fire forming loads. To say I'm happy is an understatement. Anyone considering a new build should give Jon Beanland a call, very nice guy and his builds are second to none. The only bad part about is I live about an hour from Jon's shop and this looks like it's going to get expensive, Jon is working on another build for me now, it's going to be a 220 Wby Rocket.

My varmint rigs are all semi auto, most recent is a dpms upper with a fluted 24 inch bull barrel chambered in 223 with 1:8 twist. It aint light but its superbly accurate and seems to spit any bullet I stuff down the tube, from 35 up to 78 grains with equal aplomb. Thing shoots honest to god 1/4 moa as long as i do my part with nothing added by me but an accuwedge and that's with a standard mil. spec trigger group. Cant wait to drop a gisselle into it and get a proper trigger pull with a clean break

20 Vartarg Turbo
6X47 Lapua
223 AI (yes I know the bi pod is on backwards. LOL)
234 AI (12 twist for lighter bullets)

I do all kinds of fluting. If you would like to click on my logo below it will take you to my site. The price list is on the last page.
Thanks,
Paul
Buster i love your 223 AI. is that a krylon job or what? How did you mask the fluting for paint? Do you have a hookup on fluting or what? Got me thinking of doing mine to try and lighten it a tad.
Heres mine before i put the vortex on

The 20 Vartarg Turbo, 223 AI, 243 AI were all coated by Kampfeld Custom which I highly recommend
His work is flawless. He spiral fluted all of the barrels
The 6 Lapua was coated by Beanland however Kampfeld spiral fluted that barrel
I most often run an AR, but do run bolt guns quite a bit too.
Examples:
Heavy barrel .308 Tikka T3:
The .308 Tikka is a good one for windy days. This dog was a long range windy day dog.
Better pic of the rifle:

This Tikka T3 Lite 8 twist stainless .223 has accounted for a couple of truckloads of songdogs..
In the pics below, this dog is frozen stiff as I recall it was well into the - digits, 10 or 15 degrees below.

Nothing fancy just a 2010 Remington 700 SPS Varmint in 22-250, thats is going to be turned into a 260 Remington once my barrel shows up, and it currently has a Choate Tactical Rifle Stock that I am pleased with. Its topped with a Redfied Revenge 4-12 varmint reticle and I dont like it anymore, had it warrantied withing the first month I had it. Selling it one I get my gun to the smith.
My friend was shot a 372 yards and the one laying on the tailgate was shot at 580 yards.. Dont like the call, dont matter Ill reach out and say hi any how.
Another victim from the .223 Tikka T3.
A 52 grain Sierra MatchKing.
The T3 Lite shoots the SMKs to such a degree of accuracy that I sold my heavy barreled .223 bolt gun and just shoot precision built ARs and this T3 for my .223 hunting needs.
Here is another pic before I painted it and rescoped it with the 4-12 Leupold w/MI elevation turret it wears now:

Daughter on her first 'Yote hunt a few years back, she was immensely proud! These ended up being "wall hanger" dogs to mark the occasion. Best hunt ever!

Ok, switching gears to something different!
Tac rifles .net M40 .308 that was on loan:
I flat out like the old 6mm Rem cartridge . It is one that many newer shooters have no clue about. This dog never took a single step and there was a good size chunk of him hanging off a piece of the sagebrush in the pic. The rifle is an old Remington 788. A 788 in 6mm is a pretty decent combo for a lot of animals.
You can see the chunk of old Wiley just to the left of his tail, where I stretched him out to get a look at him and take a pic. He went down like a lightning bolt flattened him. That is why I dig the 6mm.

Walley,
The barrel is .700 at the muzzle . Barrel is 22" long. I think the contour is called a Bull Sporter. There are some very nice rigs in this post.

Rebarreled my trued 700 action last fall to a lilja 1:8 6x47Lapua, Its sitting in a McMillan stock I altered to fit me and now has a SWFA 5-20 which I LOVE! Here it is with its first kill last fall, a 680yd Montana yote. 
Another one of my favorite rigs. Chambered in .22Br with an 8 twist. Kicks the 75 A-max out at 2975. Awesome bullet for coyotes. This coyote was busted in the act. Bad dog.
