I'm planning on doing some Coyote and Bob Cat hunting after the Deer rifle season ends in Arkansas. I went to the gun safe today and pulled out my 243 so I can take it to the range and check the zero on it. The gun is almost to pretty to hunt but that's what I bought it for way back when.
It's an H&R 300 Ultra Rifle made in the early 1970's when H&R was trying to get into the high dollar rifle market. They imported barrel actions from both Sako and FN Mauser and they had Fajen put a California styled rifle stock on them. This on has the Sako L579 barreled action in it and it's a really good shooter with a great trigger. I picked it up in the 1990's at a gun show for $300 and my gunsmith said he didn’t think a box shells had been through the gun. A Sako with the same barreled action cost about $550 back then.
I killed and Antelope and a Coyote with it on the same day when I lived in Colorado. I was walking along a dried creek bed when this bush about 50 yards in front of me started to shake and all of a sudden out runs this coyote and I dropped him at about 75 yards. A couple hours later I crested a ridge and there was a nice buck antelope about 150 yards away just strolling across the property so I shot him. It was a great hunt and the last Antelope hunt I did with my Son Glenn as he moved away the next year. I hunted Antelope alone the last couple of years that I lived in Colorado as both of my sons had moved out of state.
