Mini-!4
I am trying to justify buying a mini-14 and taking a yote with it sounds like good reasoning to me.
What do you guys think about a mini-14 with a scope in .223? I like the idea that it is semi auto and is basically an assault rifle. Now, I have an AR-15, Ak-47 I just want to complete the family. I guess I could hunt with my AR, but I don't really want to scope it, as it already has a reflex sight.

RE: Mini-!4
I really object to "assualt rifle" tag-remember jim zumbo's remark?
That said,I cut my teeth on moving game(jackrabbits and yotes) with a mini 14 in az while going to gunsmithing school many moons ago. There are things more fun but I CANNOT imagine whatit would be.

If its not illegal where you are, whats the problem,do it and dont worry about what people think. I use an AR every chance I get and have a blast

Mini 14s are spray an pray firearms. If you want to spend that kind of money on a gun that will more than likely never shoot better than 3-6" groups off a bench, go for it You have an AR15, thats what I would use.

RE: Mini-!4
Mini 14s aren't known for being accurate, I wouldn't trust good shot placement on a coyote, or even a hit at longer ranges. I had a guy shooting one next to me at the range and he was lucky when he got a hit on a 8" shoot-n-c target.
