Rick, glad to here nobody got hurt. Buildings and things can be replaced. Gosh, after viewing that video it is amazing they are all ok. Take care, Rudy.

I like it too!

That is one sharp looking setup. I am very envious of you!!!!! I bet it will shoot sweet just like all Coopers do. Congrat's on the new rig.

My choice would be Remington before the Savage. I would choose the Cooper if you could swing one though. They are my favorite guns at this time, but I know they are pricey too. Rudy

It looks like you found a winner with Benchmark! Won't be long and those groundhogs will be out . The temps. are going to be in the 40's for next 10 days. Should melt the remaining white stuff we have left. Rudy

Popular powders include RL-10x and Benchmark. I am sure you will get lots of opinions, but these are two proven ones for sure. Rud

Hi, I am sorry for your loss. I lost my dad on Veterans day and it was very tough to go through. Honoring your mom with a new gun seems like a great idea. I would go with the thumbhole stock, maybe just so it is something different from other guns you might have. Take care, Rudy.

Hey Rick, is the new Cooper maybe going to be a 20 Vartarg? I would love to have one myself. So many things on the wish list. Rudy

I would be tickled too! That is good shooting for the conditions you were in. I live in Western Pa. and have got the itch to shoot real bad. I think wed. on my day off I may have to wade through the snow also!!!!! Have a great day, Rudy.

Nice story and pics. I don't Coyote hunt but I am thinking about starting to. All you fellas on here are having too much fun and I am feeling left out!!!!!!! Great story Melvin. Keep them coming, Rudy.

Makes me feel like I went for a ride myself!!!! Some nice old barns in Ohio. I live in western PA. and it is very similar around here. Thanks for the ride!!! Rudy

Nice weapons! Looks like you have it all covered.I think the scopes are little small looking though!!!!!!!!!!!! Rudy

Gube, seems you have the ultimate play gound for coyotes! I think many of us are jealous of the vast area you live in. Can't wait to see how many you get this year. I am liking that T3 lite, it is a killing machine!!! Keep the great stories coming. Rudy

Glenn, I also have the Rem. Model Seven, but in .223 rem. It, like RIO said is a great light carry gun that I use for groundhogs for closer shots when walking. It has a leupold VXII 3X9 on it. Nothing against the Ruger, as I have a couple of that brand also, but not that model. You can never have en...

Hey Rick! I really enjoy your posts. You always have humor, good ideas and stories for all to enjoy! I have learned alot in the short time I have been on this site and appreciate all who post. Thanks!
