Is this a bit overgunned for prairie dogs and coyotes? I have been quite awhile getting this project done and I am at the point to keep going or quit while I am ahead. I have been trying to get a 260 rem built but I might just scrap the idea and get a smaller caliber for varmints. Thanks Windage and elevation, Mrs. Langdon, windage and elevation... | ||

To my mind the 260 is too big if your priamry use is for coyotes and smaller. I'd go 243, or maybe a 22-250 if you don't already have a 22 caliber center fire. Lou **************** NRA Life Benefactor Member | |||

I'd say it was okay for coyotes.. you are not doing a lot of high volume shooting... on the other end, it is waaaay more than you need or could enjoy for a day out shooting Prairie Dogs... 223 or smaller is the way to go for prairie dogs..

Being that I am here in CO for I don't know how long I was trying to incorporate my 260 project into a varmint prairie dog gun. I probably won't shoot many prairie dogs when I go back to MI. I think I might just scrap the 260 project for mow and pick up a 223 or 22-250 Thanks Windage and elevation, Mrs. Langdon, windage and elevation... | |||

actually the 260 is a pretty good PD gun on a windy day. its nothing that you're going to want to shoot 500 rounds a day with, but on windy days you're not going to do that anyway. Any day not i've got another one coming in, this time a DPMS ar10 in 260 dolled up a bunch. ordered it in june and was supposed to be here this month, but evidently isn't going to get here | |||
