A good coyote gun can come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and calibers. In this gallery we round up 12 of the best ARs, bolt rifles, shotguns and rimfires for any coyote hunting scenario.
Predator hunting is becoming a popular pastime for those who aren’t quite ready to leave the woods when deer season ends. And, given their rapidly expanding populations and destructive habits, coyotes are the most popular quarry.
It doesn’t take a big wallet to get in on the action, and depending upon where you hunt, there are a number of different firearms that can be very effective. Here’s how hunters can get into the game without breaking the bank.
Budget Bolt Action Coyote Rifles
Savage Axis

The Savage Axis bolt action (MSRP: $363- $375) is available in .223 Rem, .22-250 Rem, and .243 Win. Regardless of where one hunts, those are coyote downing calibers. It is also available in true right-hand or left-hand actions at the same MSRP, which should endear it to southpaws.
Drilled and tapped for scope mounts, the 22-inch carbon steel barrel and synthetic stock are finished in a soft black matte, and the empty gun weighs in at a trim 6.5-pounds. Fed from a four-round detachable box magazine, the .223 Remington model features a 1-9 twist barrel that will handle 40 to 75 grain bullets.
Ruger American

The .22 centerfires are perfect for most coyote chores, but they come up short on the open and windy Western plains. For these conditions, The Ruger American in .243 Win (MSRP: $449) is an excellent solution.
