I have a Remington model 700 Police short action in .308 with a 26 inch barrel. I dont take long shots and i dont plan on doing so. Im wanting to shorten my barrel. how short can i go? Personal experience is a plus when answering. Im not gonna shoot a bullet heavier than 168gr. I am shooting 150gr now but am thinking about going to 168gr. Any length and load data will be appreciated. I am wanting it to be a lil shorter and lighter.

Hello all.

I am looking to get into coyote hunting. But I wish to save the hides.

I own a 12 gauge pump shotgun
A k98 Mauser
A Mousin Nagant (I believe m44)
And a Chinese SKS

I was originally thinking of getting a few odds and ends for the SKS. But then I thought hay, I haven’t bought a gun in a while. So why not pick one up.

I am looking for a fur friendly coyote hunting gun. And was wounding what would be a good choice for me.

Keep in mind that I (like everyone else) am on a budget. And not looking to spend more then $350 (for the whole 9 yards)

I have heard tell that the SKS is a good coyote gun, but it kind of messes with the fur yes??

Also, since the fur is my main goal hear, I have been told to take a head shot whenever I can get one.... is this a good idea?

I already have a k98 Mauser, but the stock is in rough shape along with the finish on the barrel. It shoots great. My father gave me a very nice scope, carrying case, sling and other accessories for it, but I want to use it on a nicer rifle and keep this one for target shooting playing around while setting up a nicer one for hunting. Should I buy another K98 German Mauser or a different one such as a Yugoslavian? Which is the best?

What if some guys with guns go into your property and they are headed straight for your house, and you yell at them to leave, and maybe shine a flashlight on them but they still keep coming. What should you do at this point? Can you shoot them? Or do you have to wait till they break your door down before you can shoot? What constitutes right to defend life or property in this case? Do you have to wait for them to be able to get a good shot at you before you fire, cos most people aren't dumb enough to shoot unless they can get a decent shot?

Your property is fenced in and is in a rural but not really in a hunting area.

It is chambered in 41 Rem Mag, and is fitted with a red dot scope. Cant even find a custom outfit that wants to use plain smooth leather instead of the cowboy look. I know this will all be custom of course,(and overkill, I know) but if anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it.

I have found a handload using 46gr of Varget powder that yields 2820fps. Many have said that this is a 200 yard max cartridge. It seems that it may have longer effective range than that considering the factory loads list the '06 165s at 2800fps. I know good handloads can get them near 3000, but that is not my point. What do you think about max range with this load and a Hornady Interbond bullet or something similiar? Thank you.

I know a 30 caliber has more frontal area and is considered better for this alone, but how about a 270 firing a 160 grain nosler partition between 2700 and 2800fps. Some say penetraton is what it is all about and place less emphasis on frontal area(the best of both worlds would be ideal,I suppose), but if this is the case then why not almost any caliber from 243 on up with a Barnes bullet(they are almost armor piercing from what I have heard) They make a 130gr tsx for my 6.5x55 and I can drive at 3000fps. They should penetrate very well and shoot plenty flat. Should I get a 270...something bigger...or am I good with my Swede?

I know this is an adequate caliber for elk, but was wondering if anyone has experience or opinions for a good load. I am buying a light gun(6lbs.) and was also considering a 308 win or 270, but I think the'06 handles the heavier bullets better. What do you recommend? Thanks everyone.

The 225 grain pellet is larger than many firearm bullets, but I bet some of you think it is a toy.
