For a coyote gun, I'm considering a 22/250. I like the Savage Model
12. Should I consider other calibers, or is this a good choice?

I used to trap professionally, (two winters before the price crash at
the end of the 80s) but never seemed to have enough money for a good
rifle. I did however read The Trapper and Predator Caller magazine
for several years, and a good quality 22-250 seemed to be the rifle of
choice by all the callers writing articles for them. If you are in
circumstance where you might get multiple targets in rapid succession
the usual preference according to my gunsmith buddy is to glass bed
the chamber (thick part of the barrel) and action and float the
barrel.

I had a Ruger mini-14 and it sucked. I never did figure out how to
zero it in until years after I sold it. It did however do a pretty
good job of dropping them if I could hit them.

I've got one now, and... it sucks. LOUSY accuracy.
