I have two rifles that I consider good for coyotes. One is a relatively light weight and very accurate .223. If I am planning on doing considerable calling and hiking, this is my favorite rifle to carry. It is easily a good 300 yard rifle for coyotes. My other is a
6MM Remington that I built on an old 30-06 action. Its a bit heavier than the .223 but also very accurate, and quite capable on coyotes to 400 yards with 75 gr. vmax handloads. Have fun making your selection.
