I do not recommend trying to take yotes with a .22lr, it's not ethical. The lr is just too small, and too slow. maybe a mag would be alright, but I'd go with a centerfire over the lr or any rimfire for that matter. That said, I've shot about a dozen yotes with .22lr, out to no more than 100 yrds, but that was when I was young and dumb, and didn't know any better. You could do it for sure at 70 feet, but I wouldn't try to push it past 200 feet. A good way to test if you can take any game with any rifle, is to attempt to hit the ten ring of a handgun target at your hunting distance. If you get the ten ring almost every shot, then I'd say your gun is at least accurate enough to do the job. THen look at your balistic charts, check out what type of energy your bullets have at those distances. I'd say you should have at least 500 ft.lbs. upon impact to kill a coyote. Don't try it unless you're sure that you can at least expect a clean kill with the first shot everytime. If you can only hope to wound an animal, and you go ahead and shoot it, then the animal will suffer, either starve to death from being maimed by a poor shot, or to bleed to death, either of which being a terrible way to die. If you want to hunt coyotes, invest a dime, or several thousand dimes, and buy a high power rifle. If you want a good, simple, cheap, only yote/varmint rifle, go to wally world, you can pick up a .243, or .223 in a Savage bolt action model 110 or 111, with a 4x scope, for around $250-$300. It's as accurate as you'll ever need, and it's powerfull enough to get the job done right.

Screw the 10 ring, keep them in the zero!!!
