New 22-250

[nybuckboy]

I just bought a Winchester, Model 70 22-250 with a 4X12 Simmons Prohunter scope all for $500. It is a "Coyote" model, just 7 years old and has had just 21 rounds through it the day it was sighted in 7 years ago. Not a scratch on it. Pics below.

Nice new toy buckboy....Looks like a COYOTE KILLER extrordinaire...

I like the Win-Tuff laminate stocks..My M70 lightweight .280 has one.

They have the beauty and feel of wood, but are nearly as inert as a synthetic.

HAVE FUN....

I shot Winchester 55 gr JHP ballistic tips today. After shooting it a few times and getting used to it, i put 3 of 5 inside a quarter at 100 yds. It' was sighted dead on at 100 from the guy I bought it from. The trigger is really light and took some getting acclimated to it.

I plan to shoot 50gr Remington UMC JHP at 3945 fps. I plan to sight it in at 1 1/4 inch high at 100 yards and according to trajectory charts at http://biggameinfo.com/BalCalc.aspx the rifle will not vary +/- 1.5 inches out to 300 yards. It also states thet zeroed in at 45 yards will be the same. This means i can hold on a critter dead center here I want to hit and it should not drop or rise more than 1.5 inches. So next Sat or Sun I'll go fine tune it. Love the gun.
