I would like to buy a 788 Remington carbine 18" 243 for coyotes. Shooting only light bullets for coyotes. I have heard most 788s shoot good. They are priced reasonable and seem like it would make a very handy 400 yd and in coyote slayer I want a little more energy that the 223 that I always carry. I could handload for it but I would try to make it shoot Hornady 58 gr stuff first. If it shot under a 1" I would just buy two boxes a year and be done. I think for weight I would consider that new nikon m223 rifle scope 1" tube and good looking knobs to to turn. Thoughts?
