Is the 243 a good long rangs coyote gun??

I was in the same situation and contemplating almost the same guns you have listed there. I went with the 22-250 Savage Model 10 max-1. The rifle will amaze you on its accuracy and is not finicky with what you run through it. That said, my cousin lives on a large ranch in Kansas and has always shot them with a .243 with 85 grain hand loads. He kills about 70 coyotes per year (combined between trapping and shooting) and the .243 is his choice also because it is a nice deer rifle. I think either gun will satisfy your needs but don't overlook that savage. Good luck to you.

I was reading along,and found your post. Man, 70 a year, and a ranch in Kansas. Could I join on an excursion one day? Sounds like an absolute blast.
