What is your choice of weapon for predator hunting?
« on: October 19, 2010, 09:28:42 PM »
 I use a CZ 527 in 223 caliber with a 4.5 to 14 power scope. My second gun is a Thompson encore in 223 caliber. It also wears a 4.5 x14 power scope. My second rifle also carries a Gemtech suppressor. I use this in areas that is close to houses to keep the noise down. Both rifles have fine tuned triggers for I am only shooting at eye balls.

How many coyotes have you had run off at night? As far as loud any gun is loud at night. Some small calibers crack louder than larger calibers.
