Buy recommendations Best “do it all” rifle

I’m looking for advice on the best rifle for doing a bit of everything. The main use I’m looking for is coyote and deer hunting as well as a lot of target shooting.

I totally understand everyone is going to have a different opinion on cartridge but I’d love to hear what everyone thinks for my situation.

I currently own sks and a 10/22.

Let me know your thoughts! TIA

What ranges are we talking about? If you're looking at medium to long range, you might be best served with a 243, 6.5 Creedmore, or a 308. More short to medium range, I personally like the idea of a lever action in 30-30, 357 or 44, but not everybody rolls that way.
