I shot this good sized male Coyote!! Those "ACME" .22 LR Hollow Points work pretty good on "Yotes" Range: 50 yards. BUT saw no Squirrels. |

Nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Where was the bullet entry? (just curious)
Take the fur in to a buyer, you could get enough $$ to buy more .22 shells.

Shot this Coyote in the neck, but put a couple more in him for insurance before I approached him. As for the fur, that is something I am not into doing. Just want to rid my place these predators. I shot him from my tree stand, the one stand I wasn't seeing any Deer, during our rifle season, as I firmly believe he was working the area. I used my CZ Model 452 rifle with .22 LRHP CCI Mini-Mags, to bag him. Squirrels seem to moved to another area though as I normally see several this time of the year. |

You might find a fur buyer that will take them like that, no skinning required.
Thanks for the info. I'll bet the rifle is accurate!

I shot my first Coyote, down here in Kentucky, while on a Turkey Hunt back in the Spring 2009 season. Got him with my 20 gauge 3" shell for Turkeys. Thus far, I've shot nine Coyotes, down here, and my Brother has shot two; but this one is the largest I've shot. |

How have you managed to get my rifle and sling, lol
its a carbon copy of my 22.
very accurate rifles, when my lads were young i took them out and showed them the small subsonic bullet, then i took them to a fox den and shot four foxes dead with it, to show them that just because it is small it does not mean it is not powerful
reckon they got the point.
Regards
Billy

Regards Billy Hi Billy, My .22 LR is a CZ Model 452, that I bought back in 2000. It's the "American" version and it is very accurate with just about any brand of .22 Long Rifle ammunition (except Remington ammo.) I use mainly C.C.I. .22 LR Hollow Points, but also have used Winchester Super-X and Federal .22 Ammo with great success. The only issue I have about it is you can't run a regular .22 Cleaning rod to clean the bore, so I use a .17 or .20 caliber rod or I mostly use a .22 "Bore Snake" with works fine. Guess European Rim-fire .22 bore diameters, are a bit smaller than ours. The Rifle came without open sights so, back in 2005, I had Williams Gun Sight Company install a front & rear open "Fire Sights". If I choose I can remove the scope, but really I have kept the scope on (Weaver 3-9 power Rim-fire scope), but I think open sights add to the look of my CZ, and I always thought that all .22 Rim-fire Rifles should include open sights, unless they are heavy barreled target rifles. The leather Sling is an adjustable "Quick-fire" type where one can adjust it by just tugging it tight or pulling it in-order place it over your shoulder. Very handy! I have a few "Montana" Rifle Slings on several of my other rifles, which this type of sling basically is the same, but comes with ready to install swivels, on your rifle(s).  |

Hey way to go. Nice going with a 22. Thanks, I normally would have used my .222 Rem. or .22 Hornet Rifles, for such sized varmints, but since I was Squirrel Hunting, I only had my .22 RF Rifle. I shot my very first Coyote, back in 1990, using my Winchester Model 43 bolt action rifle in .25-20 Win. |

greetings drs To clean muinei just use the 22 brush etc but as you rightly say they are tight. Is that why they are so accurate?  who knows At work bore snakes have been banned on more than one ocassion the cord has snapped and for what ever reason they could not remove the snake which meant they scrapped the rifle. Strange but that is the reason we are not issued with them anymore. regards Billy |

Strange but that is the reason we are not issued with them anymore. regards Billy Thanks for the "heads-up" concerning a Bore Snake cord breaking with the Bore Snake halfway up the bore. I'll check mine to be sure everything is in order. Got a spare one which I've never used. Believe I'll start using a .20 cal. rod more. I also have a Bore Snake for my .270 Ruger M-77 MKII, but it is very hard and tight to pull through the bore, as it is also made to use on a .280 (7 m/m) rifle. So I don't use it anymore but rather use a plain cleaning rod with regular cleaning patches of proper size. I have other Bore Snakes for my other rifles (.30 to .45) & Shotgun Bore Snakes. They seem to work fine so far, but wonder if Folks using .17 Caliber rifles are have this breaking issue with cleaning .17 caliber bores like .17 HMR or .17 WSM with Bore Snakes? |

I never use a bore snake for when I want to give the gun a good cleaning. Regular rod and nickel plated jag, if I need a brush, I use a nylon one. The only time I'd use a bore snake is if I was on a P-Dog shoot and needed to get a portion of the crud out of the barrel out in the field because the accuracy fell off. I'd clean the gun properly that night.

Tipton rod - Brass on end .208", carbon fiber shaft .204" Dewey rod - Brass on end .203" Coated aluminum shaft .210" I have two sets of Tipton jags, one brass/bronze, and the other one nickel plated. I was getting "copper" residue on my patches and it ended up being from the jag when I used my copper remover solvent and I chased my tail for a long time trying to figure it out. Brass jag set - .186" Nickel plated jag set - .1865" - .187" (make sense, they probably just plated the brass ones) I also have a "small caliber" cleaning rod set from KleanBore, that rod measures .156". I believe it is coated steel. |

I try to avoid using brass jigs also, as copper solvents react with them. |

All the 17's I have used bore snakes on work fine. Only broke one and I think the package was miss labeled .17 when it was a .20. Works fine in a .20. Now that one did brake but pulled it back out from the other end. I don't see how you should have to scrap a barrel when a snake gets stuck in it unless you are using the pistol size to clean a rifle. When the one broke on me there was plenty sticking out the other end to pull it back out. |
