I like my Browning A-Bolt composite stalker in .223. Its light, easy to carry, and accuracy is only limited by the shooter. With the right ammo and a good scope, the bullets will usually all touch at 100. I've got a 3-9x40 Nikon Buckmaster on top of it. I tried using a higher powered scope, but put the Nikon back on since it is much easier to see with for night time coyote hunts.
