Longer Barrel?

Ended up ordering a CVA Varmint Hunter in .243
So hopefully it’s accurate and doesn’t have any issues.
I may still rebarrel the 6.5 Grendel Upper I have to 22 or 6 ARC
 
Looks like 6ARC if the AR platform or a 243 barrel for the Savage to me.
Not to go on and on BUT if you do the point blank zero, using a 4" target (the size of the coyotes heart area) you'll hit it there out to say 300. If you know your drop to 400 adjust accordingly.
See coyote, crosshairs on chest, squeeze trigger, go drag. Don't have to even think about nuthin! My $0.02 worth.

My cousin had to do some follow ups with his 6.5 Creed for me. We lost one that I hit and rolled it over and then it crawled down a den. So that’s another consideration. I’m not super concerned with pelt damage. I have a huge red fox mounted so no need for another. Most of the places we are hunting is farmers or Amish and they just want the predators gone.
I personally have never seen a coyote, let alone shot one..95% fox around here in PA..my cousin has gotten a few but none while I’ve been along.
I just want fas, flat..minimal hold over or guess work, and ability to anchor reliably from 200-400+ yards.

22-250 would be the easy button since you already have one in the rack. Easy to get over 4000 fps with 40 gr BT. Mine will do it with very mild loads of CFE223. However if all I had was fox to shoot (I'd feel lucky). I would be looking a lot harder at a new 204 Ruger or 17 Remington.
