This question goes to those of you who call coyotes and have occasion to shoot up close or 200-300 yards, depending on how the hunt goes. I have plenty of rifles, but most of them are too heavy and too slow for up close shooting; they're just not versatile enough. So I'm looking for your input. Please tell me what rifle you use for coyotes under these circumstances? I may decide to buy an AR style semi auto for such hunts. Also, what scope do you use? I've missed shots because my long heavy rifles with high powered variable scopes are not ideal. I can spend maybe $1200-$1500 so I have some flexibility. What do you think?? I would prefer .223 or .204, but could go with a .308.
