RE: .22 or.17
I wouldnt recomend using a rimfire for Coyote but either of the Magnum Rimfires are capible of that. I would be more comfortable with the .22 Mag but its more your preference. If you want more accuracy the the .17 HMR is what you want. If you dont mind sacraficing a little accurace then the .22 Mag would prob be better.
