Sweet Dave looks like the 20-250 is putting the smack down on them.
Dang good eye on the rifle! No way you could possibly know it, but that barrel ain't the Big Twenty though
. Just for grins, I screwed a 6/284 tube on it last month to campaign on the coyotes when I'm not after fur. It's identical from the outside though, same Lilja #4, same length etc. Had it chambed at the same time as the .20-250, only just now getting around to playing with it much. Launching 55 BT's at close to 4300 fps, it is extremely flat shooting. Stacks 'em nicely too, 3 shot groups averaging just over a quarter inch. Really scrambles a coyotes whole basket of eggs though. Definitely not fur friendly...
The old Winchester model 94 (pre 64) 30/30 still manages to kill a dog or two.
Very nice
. I had one of those, gave it to my Nephew. Still have a 1915 vintage '94 in .38-55 though. Haven't used it in a long time, but used to bust a few coyotes with it too. It was kind of like my version of a shotgun for close in fast action work in the brush. Anymore though, I just don't bother calling in the thick stuff. I like to have some shooting lanes
