i use a remington r-15 decked out... but i call in the woods and thicker areas so i need a compact rifle that handles and is balanced well... been using it for years now and love it.... very versatile!!! my second choice is a tikka t3 lite 22-250. i like a lightweight gun to pack and both of these come in at just a touch over 6lbs.. been calling coyotes for 15 years and these are my two favorites to date!!
my other choices if i were to buy another rifle would be 220 swift and 243... im not a fan of the 204 at all though it is a capable yote gun

243 with 80 grain ballistic tip would definitely put them to sleep. You can find 243 in lots of rifles from low end to high end. That is a good all around choice for deer size game as well.

I 2nd the .243. Killed 150+ coyotes with mine. Very fast and flat, shot them in the ditch all the way out to the 1/4 mile fence with it!!

Ill second the R-15 but mine is in 204 Ruger. 32gr V-Max will drop em on the spot and i love not having to work a bolt for another shot when more than one comes in. Ive got got a Winchester 70 Super Shadow 243 WSSM that i liked to carry because of the light weight. Any rifle you already have will work and ive shot them with a little bit of everything.

Weatherby Vanguard Deluxe 30/06 ( a little too much if you want to save the hide)

Charles Daly Maxi Mag for the tight calling

Howa 1500 in 22-250, great shooting gun but just a little to heavy for my liking to pack around
