Yote Caliber Recommendations?

[cstemig]

I need a new hobby, so killing some yotes seems like a good thing. I'm anticipating that most of my shots will be 100-200 yards and less. I don't care about the pelt condition, just dead coyotes.

Cabela's is currently offering a Savage Axis II Package (With adjustable Accutrigger and Weaver Scope) for about $349.00. It seems like a good deal.

I'm thinking of either a .223 or .243. What do you recommend?

Never go wrong with a .243. Plus you can reach out further with one.

your mom...

A .243 it is! By accident, I came across a deal on a slightly used Ruger American .243 that I could not refuse.

Now the Yotes are either going to die by bullets or by laughter!

I love shooting 55 grainers out of my 243

Good deal. Put some 70 or 80 grain loads in that thing and sight it in about 1" high at 100 yards. You can even put 100 grainers in it and shoot a deer next fall.

It come with a scope?
