"Light weight" long range hunting rifle.

[azemspilot]

I just finished the last version of my do everything, sort of light weight, long range hunting rifle. It started life as a Winchester Coyote, in 300 WSM with a laminated stock and 24" barrel. After a few years and a few deers, it has changed quite a bit. This final version has an HS stock, Williams mismatched bottom metal, Timney trigger, 21" barrel, and the new SS 3-9 variable. I got drawn for elk this year in AZ, so it should get some use in the field.

Re: "Light weight" long range hunting rifle.

Thanks guys. I have been shooting 200 Accubonds and SMKs with 4831sc, but I am thinking of going to a lighter bullet/faster powder with the shortened barrel. I have been hunting with the Accubond since they first came out, (200gr was the first one out, and I just stuck with it) and have found them to be very accurate and reliable.

Also, I did this because I just got rid of my light weight Kimber Montana 300 wsm. I also went from a 6.5-20x50 Leupold on the Coyote to the smaller SS. Instead of having a light and heavy rifle, now I just have one. Now I will be able to neck size and adjust oal to fit this one rifle, instead of worrying about making sure the ammo functioned well in both rifles.

Re: "Light weight" long range hunting rifle.

Haven't weighed her yet, but feels close to 9-10lbs. It is A LOT lighter than when it had had the laminated stock, 24" barrel, and 6.5-20x50 LR Leupold.
