My brother has 10 acres fenced off with cattle, goats and a horse. His land backs up to the Sabine river between Texas and Louisiana. There is this buffer zone of protected wetlands between the back of his property and the river. It is several hundred yards from the back of his property to the river. Some of the wetlands is open field, some is densely wooded.
The term "protected" means nobody can build on the land. Not that the coyotes are protected, just the land is protected from development.
Coyotes have moved into that area and are getting too close to his livestock. Coyotes are seen on a semi-regular basis between the back of the field and the woodline. Right now my brother is using a bolt action 308 which he has used to take down several coyotes. He wants to replace that 308 with a 223 as his main predator gun.
He wants a flattop with no front sight, strictly for a scope.
I found a CMMG 18 inch bull barrel, but CMMG does not seem to have a good reputation.
PSA has this one on sale for $399 - http://palmettostatearmory.com/index...ng-handle.html
We would like to keep the budget say maybe around $700 or less for the upper.
What are some of the good options are out there?
