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

I am in same situation and decided to go with the tikka t3x in 6.5cm. The action is second to none, it will last a lifetime and retain its value over that time extremely well. Aftermarket availability is also fantastic, I’ve since ordered the MDT XRS chassis as they just had their annual 30% off sale yesterday.
