That's not really a critical review but just a "I did this" kind of article. Would not a 30-06 or some other rifle work just as well for hunting coyotes?

I have not shot a gun since 1980 or so but had a couple of 12 gauges and a few 22s for target shooting. These were a single shot and a Winchester like replica with a lever action.

I have not had much interest in guns/rifles etc since 1980.

Paul and Jean are right IMHO that the major impetus behind the anti-gun control fighters is the money involved. I wonder how much funding the NRA gets from arms manufacturers?
