RE: Coyote Rifle
Your two best choices are probably going to be a .223 Remington or a .22-250. The .223 is cheaper to shoot, has better barrel life, and is adequate for coyotes out to about 325 yards. The .22-250 is about 500 fps faster with the same bullet weight, and will extend the maximum effective range out to about 400 yards.
You might looks at a Stevens 200 or Savage 110. Be careful buying used .22 centerfires. These guns are commonly used for high volume varmint hunting and may have the barrel already shot out.

RE: Coyote Rifle
Chances are you'll not get a second shot at a coyoye anyways so for an inexpensive rifle for them, why not one of the H&R/NEF single shots. later if you want additional bbls can easily be added. While I really like the .22-250 cartridge, I'd even suggest the .243 or the .22 Hornet.

RE: Coyote Rifle
Take a look at the H&R ultra hunter, its a single shot with laminated stok, very nice. As far as caliber, it's hard to beat the .223, but a .243 would dual purpose on yotes, hog and deer.
