I only build customs in stuff I can’t get off the shelf, like the Lapua rounds. If I wanted a 223 or a 270, for example, I’d just buy a Sako, Tikka or maybe even a Model 70.
Skip the HS/BC stocks and go striaight to Manners/McMillan.
Don’t build your rifle too heavy. A number 4 or 5 is more than plenty.
Manners EH3 is my favorite stock for a coyote rifle. I should be posting my new one up sometime soon.
Long barrels lose their appeal as soon as you take them hunting.
But a custom action FOR SURE.
Any good barrel will do. I’d suggest a Bartlein, Krieger or Brux.
Spend good money on an Optic. Zeiss over Leupold is my opinion.
223 isn’t and never has been enough gun for coyote (best get a package of popcorn cooking)
Factory ammo (22/250) will shoot great from a custom if you try a few and see what it likes.
I use Jon Beanland. I can show you some of his work if you want.
