Either rifle you are looking at will do the job. I would favor the Ruger rifle and with the 1/12 twist you will find the 39 grn bullet will be a better choice as most 1/12 twists seem not to like the 40 grn bullet, as for best accuracy and grouping. Saying that however any coyote hit with the 39 grn...

Thanks Rick. My area is just now starting to warm, but the wind being cool yet, seems to be keeping them down, for the most part. In time I will get more shooting in.
Looks like all of you fellows had a good time and nice weather. Again Thanks for sharing all of that.

Looks like a decent set up for a walk about rifle. Should not be that heavy with the sling. How does it group with your loads, etc. ?

MTPaul: I believe 99% of the members on this forum would feel and agree with your comments.
As for exploring other cartridges, you should really add a 20 VT in to fit so nicely between the Hornet and the 204R. It is one fine shooting cartridge and you would fully enjoy it also.

For me anyway, anymore the major news and what and how the libs are doing Rick, is nothing but a joke, however it is really hurting a lot of decent and lawful citizens in the old Republic.

Hope all had a fine Easter and did whatever you enjoy on the day, with family making it the best.

It did surprise me however, that we made it through the day without a single April Fools Joke, unless I missed it/them.

You and yours enjoy it also Skipper.

Interesting Rick how the areas we live in are so entertaining. We have a lot of those critters right in our area also. Cougars are trapped or killed every year in the cabin area and even close to a couple local schools. Bears, some coons, skunks, fox and coyotes are often seen right around my place ...

Forgot the girls.

Well this morning a nice fresh and heavy snow fall, about 1/2 ft so far. But in come the girls for breakfast. Enjoy. Had my cardio shvoling the berm from in front of the garage doors, so I don't back it down driving out.

Sorry wrong photo's, these are from earlier this summer/fall. Here are this mornings.

For some activity on the site, plus to add to the thread. Some of my herd in feeding for breakfast at 0715 hrs now this morning along with the fresh snow fall early this morning dusting the ground again. Bill K

Those critters in for treats/meals are like some I have up at my old place every day and night. Fun to watch and see, especially when the does start bringing in the new fawns. And the bucks growing the new set of antlers.. Thanks for sharing yours.

Had a nice thrill earlier this afternoon. Took the Jeep and then the Dodge down to fuel them up and there are three rock outcroppings I always check out for rock chucks. Well two of the three had one to two chucks out sunning themselves, so the is a good sign for my area. However these rock areas ar...

Keep the faith, you can or come darn close to it. Just relax and enjoy.
