	Here is a rifle I built in 1985. It is a .222 Rem. rimmed. (On the .357 max. case) w/a Douglas bbl. 1:14” twist. I sold or traded it about 10 years ago & bought it back last month. I remembered it as being a “good shooter “! Then last Monday 6/9 I took it out to the range to see how it would do & had no trouble keeping it in 1/2” @ 100 yds w/a 40 grn. Nosler spiitzer chrono’d @ 3325 fps! As I expect to be accessing several cut hayfields in the next few weeks I may have a chance @ an unwily coyote or two. Think this rifle might work OK? Note: The bbl. on this Stevs. is not nearly as heavy as it appears in this crappy photo as I caught a shadow line along the top of the barrel Sorry.

	Nice looking rig. If I were a coyote, I'd be nervous.

	I have a CC Johnson reworked Pope barrel (a sin but I bought it) in .222 for my 44 1/2. I have not fired it. May I ask what your loads are? A PM is fine if preferred.
