Thought you boys might want to take a gander at my coyote rig, 6.5 grendel, Bartlein barrel, Nightforce f1 4-14×50
Should work very well on those big dogs up north. I bet Junebug and Birdog down in Tennessee would approve of the caliber Matt
Nice rig! I have the same scope. Have you had return to zero set issues? I have. I zero it in, then a while latter, the zero set stop allows the turret to go 6 clicks instead of just 2 past zero set. Other than that, the turret tracks and looks awesome! What's your bullet of choice for the putting the dogs down??
Anytime I use Vmaxes, I segregate them by Ogive and by weight. They are great bullets, but they become even greater if you get an egg carton and segregate away.
There is only one thing i would change, 3-12 Leopold VXR.- firedot. Or VX6 - 3-18 firedot. The reason is the firedot really works on running animals and in very low light conditions. No need to concentrate on crosshairs , just firedot and shoot. That is really a great coyote/deer gun you have there.
Just finished my first Grendel. 18" barrel will be running the new 90gr Nosler varmagedons or 95vax. Topped it with a US Optics TS-12x which might be changed out for something else later. I'm trying out the AR stoner barrel from midway....IF i can't get it to run it will be swapped for the Faxon 18". Running there bcg.
Very nice setup. I have to in 6-5 Grendel. With suppressors and thermal. I use the Lehigh defense ammo. With a 110 Controlled Chaos. It does a great job of anchoring them in their tracks. And does not tear the Pelt up. I've dropped them to 200 yards. With no problem
