7.62x54R, 8mm Mauser, 7.62x39, 00 buck, .243....they fall down when they get hit and don't move, which is the job at hand. Darned lamb stealing sons of she-dogs.....

6mm remington, yotes dont really care what bullet you use.
I'd use my .220 Swift.
Lots of solid advice. I use an AR because I like AR's, I can have fun at the range with it, and the caliber works well. If I was building a brand new coyote specific gun, I think a 22-250 on a Howa action would be a good price effective solution.
Here's what I'm using now...
I've been using my 25-06 with 75 gr Sierra hp's and 49 grains of H4350. Does real good. I don't keep pelts, I'm more concerned that the dog is killed and not just mamed.
Hard to beat 100 gr pills at 3100+ out of my 250 ackley.
That looks like a very nice gun, but I think it would be better for rats than coyotes. I used something similar on my first trip to Eastern Oregon and didn't like it much for Coyotes. Though it took my first dog and a few more after that so it will work for sure.
How many stands have you done with that unit?
