Kimber Montana 1-9" 223 punched 233AI,unless you wish to build from the ground up and in that case a 700 based 1-8" N barreled 223AI at 21" gets the nod,replete with McMillan stock.
I'd be gunning the 75A-max at 3100fps+ via '335 and modest Leupie glass with ele turret ala Duplex via 1" tube. Park the A/O and pass the LRF.

I have been thinking about the same thing as you. I am not to far from building an AR15 with a 20", stainless, 1 in 8 twist, heavy barrel. Possibly having it dipped in predator camo. Probably top it with a Bushnell 6500 2.5-16X42 with mill dot reticle sitting in Game Reaper mounts.
Something like this.

It's beyond stupid at this point. I have never seen someone with such an extreme narcissistic disorder as this guy. He needs to seek professional help.
I don't believe that he could actually function out in the general public with out someone beating the snot out of him daily.

To the OP, I prefer a .243 with a 70-85 gr pill. If it is a dedicated coyote blaster, 22-250 with 40-55 gr v-max or nbts. If you practice a lot and don't reload, a .223 might be the best option because of ammo costs.
I personally have all 3. savage 243, vanguard 22-250 and ar-15 in 223. My favorite is the .243, because most of my coyote kills are during deer season and the .243 plays double duty very well. But a 20" or 24" barrel on an ar platform in .223 or .204 with good optics might be nice too.

The .243 is a great double duty gun but if your worried about fur then the 22-250 with 55 gr v-max is the ticket flat shooting and plenty enough gun. Of course I prefer to coyote hunt with a 12 gauge full of hevi-shot

I like my Ruger No1 22-250.
Two of my buddies were talking about coyote rifles. One said to the other you shoot a whole clip through that AR at coyotes. The other says yeah true but they never get away. I thought that was kinda funny.

My personal preferernce would be the 22-250 strickly for yotes.. If your doing double duty on deer then the 243.. But you stated you wanted to target shoot also then I might go with the 223 for the fun of it and the low cost ammo.
