What's your go to Coyote gun?

This year I am running a 22cm in 16" in a bolt action. Night time can be nice to run an ar platform for ease of folow ups, but feeding issues in cold atmosphere and dark can make for a not fun night.

I tried an AR for night time and i couldn’t stand chambering and unchamering a round in one. Dropping rounds on the ground, making a ton of noise.

Yep, I ran a 22 grendel before the arc was a thing and I used to run a brass catcher too to save my brass I had to form, a 223/556 in an ar would be the way to not worry about brass. I had an ar10 in 22 creed for a bit as well, but same deal picking up brass.

A bolt is solid and will also keep your ammo budget in check. With an ar it was always tempting to Chase them with a few follow ups

Shoot what you are confident with...there are enough differences hunting at night. You want to shoot something that you can handle with having to look at it. It's easy to mess up when it's dark

My little 222. Shot a lot of coyotes, foxes, crows and woodchucks with this gun
