at 100 yards i can cover a 5 shot group with a nickle, i took a picture of the group but i dont know if i still have it, if i do ill post it. as far as the gun i love it. its a little heavy because of the bull barrel. but top it with a good scope and you can shoot 500+ yards with the 223 and 1000 yards with the 308.

also if you dont have your mind set on a SPS tactical, i would look at the new Remington 700 VTR in 223. they have a little longer barrel 24inch compensated heavy barrel as opposed to 20inch bull barrel. they both have the X-PRO trigger which is a great trigger. it comes down to which feels better, i chose the SPS because i wanted a shorter rifle, but if your going after coyotes a longer barrel will generally be better. but most important top it with good glass, if you buy a $500 rifle but only a $40 scope you wont get the groups or ranges you want, im a huge fan on Nikon, i only have a nikon 3-9x40 on mine at the moment, but im going to go a little higher power as soon as i can afford it. i hope this helped, maybe i can get a job at Remington or Nikon after pushing there products so much.
