I finally let the 6.8 crowd talk me into a new rifle the other day. I took it out the other night after a storm rolled through just to see what was out there.
I came across this big male coyote, and put a stalk around to get to a position where I could shoot knowing that there wasn't the possibility of bedded down cattle behind it. I actually got within about 40 yards and was enjoying my 'ninja' status when he busted me as I was getting ready to focus my thermal. So I took a hasty shot, and put it through the boiler room.
This dude was big for out here in SE Oklahoma. That is an 18" barrel with nearly another 2" of muzzle brake for reference. I measured him at the shoulder while he was laying down and he came to 22"
I must say that the 6.8 did a fine job putting this one away quickly without the aid of a CNS hit.
Crappy video if anyone is interested.
