First of all, I'd REALLY like to know where we can all get super long range, flat shooting, super accurate, high energy rifles for low cost.

Like a couple of the guys said, you don't NEED to shoot that far at yotes anyway.
Find something in the realm of the .22 centerfires, a good scope, and learn to shoot that thing better than anyone in colorado.
My rig?? NEF handi rifle, .223, 3-9X40 scope.to me a coyote rifle is a small, light,mobile, coyote killing machine.if you want one of those big, heavy barreled, glossy contraptions,...stay on the range, shooting paper.
