Anyone own one of these? I'm looking at possibly trading for one and am curious how they shoot.
Thanks

Re: Winchester Coyote
Had one in 22-250. Had to pillar bed it to get it to shoot well, the factory bedding consisted of some type of glue or silicon that was squirted into the recoil lug area on the stock.
The substance would soften as the barrel warmed up and cause shifting point of aim/point of impact.
Once the bedding was corrected it shot great, 1/2" 5 shot groups off a benchrest at 100 yards.

Huh, not too shabby I'd say (after the bedding).

Re: Winchester Coyote
Same experience, I've had two of them and neither one would shoot until they were pillar bedded.
Still have the one in 7mmWSM and it is my go-to rifle next to my little CZ 527 in 223.

Re: Winchester Coyote
Are y'all referring to the older Coyote with laminated stock or the current Coyote Light ?

Re: Winchester Coyote
Older style, not the new Light style. The one I am looking at is 7mm wsm. I've been thinking about a 7 WSM for a while but don't know if I'll be happy with just picking up a factory gun vs building.

Re: Winchester Coyote
Have one in SS laminated stock 7WSM. My dad has the same. I have only tried 175SMK in them and they both shoot excellent. 1/2moa no problem.

Re: Winchester Coyote
Thanks for the help guys. I found one NIB for 650. The guy was looking for my 10/22 magnum on trade but now I guess he found one. I guess I'll just have to sell the thing and buy his. It seems like a good price.
