I have an old 788 in 22-250 that is pretty accurate. They haven't been made in quite a while so if you find one,check it out good to make sure the barrel isn't shot out.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

I would find a 788 or older 700 Remington or Savage makes a good gun also.
It is more blessed to give than to receive

I’m fairly sure I have a LH Timney trigger for that 700, if you’re interested? [/quote] Where were you two weeks ago??? :-) Just bought a new thumbhole laminated aluminum pillar stock for it and a Timney. Appreciate the offer though.

if you were hung up on REM then the model 7 predator , unless you sit at a bench and shoot prairie dogs your likely going to be walking miles with the rifle in a day , so many of the varmint guns get built very heavy and that is just no fun to carry.
what are the odds your going to need to shoot more than a few rounds if your chasing coyote , so you don't need a overweight barrel to dissipate the heat
for very similar money to the Rem you can get a Tikka lite x3 in 22-250 and it starts at just under 6 pounds adding an optic depending what you add you could keep at or under 7.5 pounds
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.
