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

Depends entirely where you live. This year in Alberta (maybe last year) they are allowing 223/556 for deer. That would be my suggestion. 308 if you decide to go after something larger. Both are readily available and affordable to shoot.
