just wondering what others think
I have several different rifles
I have 22 mag
223
30 06
I think the 22 mag is enough to kill a coyote
but my buddy thinks I ought to use the 06
he seems to think that the 22 mag and 223 is not enough gun
what are some other opinions?

22 mag is pushing it for longer range but a .223 will take them down as far as you can see them. a number of people use a .223 for yotes i personall use a .222 imo the 06 is a bit overkill for a yote

i agree with mikefes, the 22 has enough power to kill a coyote but its only gonna be accurate out to 100-150 yards at the most. 223 is gonna give you more power and a much longer range while still being a small caliber with little recoil. i also shoot a .222 sako, which is very nice its has a little more recoil than the .22 but man it is loud. its a perfect varmint/predator gun cause it shoots really fast.

.22 mag will do it out to 125 yards, but .223 would be pretty well ideal! I've used my 06, because i love to shot it and its great practice for the deer hunt!

.06 is a bit much, unless you are hunting them over a field that provides good long range shots. other than that, 222 is what i would go with. Hoorah

I guess by now you know that some guys buy .223 to shoot yotes with, huh !
