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

.223, 22-250 or .22ARC

For affordability .223

For ballistics 22ARC,

Nostalgia 22-250

There are a lot of guys on here whose firearms experience is exceptional when it comes to mag dumping a Turkish made shotgun and while they know their Panzer M4 like the back of their boyfriends hand it doesn’t really build good shooting fundamentals or instruct well in calibre. For price point get a good .223 and spend some range time with it and you’ll be a better shot overall and with time spent in the field you’ll be the the death of many a Coyote

Great choices but not legal for deer in some places
