I just got a .223 Savage axis, with a 3-9 Bushnell scope. Reviews I read talk about it be low end but very accurate. It is very accurate! Haven't shot a coyote yet but did sight it in and was very impressed. I got a great deal at Dunhams $299.00 with scope. I plan on Camoing it with Hydrographing. You can look up Mydipkit.com looks really cool what can be done with that stuff. I went out yesterday and saw no coyotes but 3 nice bucks running together. Very cold out but I was dressed warm and it was great to be out!
