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 think the real do-it-all gun is a shotgun with interchangeable choke tubes.

There's not a lot you can't do when you have everything from #9 bird shot to 1oz slug at your disposal.

Imagine shooting a coyote with 1oz slugs lmao I've blown up a few skunks with slugs cause it was all I had with me but it's quite the mess. Made it easier to eat for the bald eagles that live nearby
