I'm looking at one of these in 223 and would appreciate any input on this Rifle.
Thanks,
Chip

Got one in 270 wsm about 3 wks ago. Can lighten trigger pretty easy by backing off 2 nuts that maintain trigger spring tension. While you're in there you might should clean up the stock a little.

I really like the Coyote. Getting about 3/4 inch 3 shot 100 yd groups with factory ammo. 223 should shoot at least this well. One of my better shooting rifles and and I own way too many. Should try different loads but have not had time yet.

To me this rifle is a little rough around the edges, but I like the feel of the stock and it is potentially a great shooter.

chipchip,

I have a Win. M70 Coyote in .223 WSSM.  Accuracy is better than I expected to get(started out just over 1/2" and has just gotten better with load work) from it.  While it's not a light weight rifle like the Stealth is, it works very well for varmint hunting for which it was designed to do.  I highly recommend both the Coyote and the .223 WSSM for anyone that is in the market for a fast, powerful varmint rifle.  Lawdog
