.223 is a very cheap bullet. you can get umm in that wolf ammo in a box of 1000 for less than $100

im pretty sure he said money is a factor.. lol.. savage, howa, cz, and remington model 700's. These are all good guns and not to expensive. www.budsgunshop.com this is a good website and have pretty good prices. Good luck with your rig and hunting.

The .223 isn't a super long range coyote rifle! The 22-250 has better down range energy, by a long shot. And depending on just how long you concider to be "super long", the .243 or 25-06 would be better!

If you are calling coyotes, the shots shouldn't be "super long" anyway.

A 30-06 is a little bit large for coyotes. Anything, a .243, .223, .22-250, .204, they are all good, just practice with it and learn the capability.

Ruger M77-MKII target in a .220 swift, Nikon monarch 6x18 target scope, That is a great coyote rifle, it will easly take them at 400 -500 yards. You still need to shoot alot to know your rifle but that round and rifle will do it.If had another choice it would be .243 in that same rig. those 58 grain hornaday's will flat get it.
