Got a buddy who nailed 3 cottontails at 700-730 in 6 or 7 shots last coyote season off a ravine edge. Specs for the shots were--
1) 26" 8T-barrelled Rock River (I'm pretty sure)-77 gr. TMK and 75 A-Max/VLD magazine.
2) Leupold 6.5-20 VX-III Varmint Hunter's reticle for coyotes to it's limit then turreted. Turrets solely for 400ish+ yd. smaller varmints.
3) I-Ballistics program on cell phone/loads compensated for atmospherics.
I'd think any repeatable target turret system 6.5-20ish-type optic oughtta work just fine with some trigger time. Hoping to do the same with my 9T 223 AI AR/73 gr. ELD-M's/VLD magazine this coyote season on smaller varmints.
