243 ackley coyote rifle.

[87predator]

After many years of wanting to build, i finally got one done.
I couldn't wait for a new barrel so got one from a member here. It sits on a Stevens 200 short action, with a recoil lug from NSS. Its in a stockade woodchuck stock. With the 26" Shaw varmint contour barrel, it had good feel of stability, while not too heavy. I stuck a vortex viper 6.5x20x44 on top. I need to get a lower set of rings, but will probably switch out to a viper pst in the near future.
This will be primarily a calling rig for coyotes, but will also use it to fill some whitetail antlerless tags.

I would like to thank these members whom the parts were purchased from:
Lineman-barrel
204 dogger-stock
And NSS for the lug and barrel nut and action wrench.

Last but not least, all of the members here for answers to questions i had, and all of the informative posts.
