Re: yote gun
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

Re: 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.

Re: yote gun
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!!

Re: yote gun
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.
R-15

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
