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

Imo a 308 Tikka or x bolt. Ammo is cheaper then creed. You likely won't shoot past the effective range of 308 and if you do you will want a dedicated rig. The range of bullets and performance you can get hand loading from 308 is crazy.

Another pro over 6.5 bleedmoor is you can get cheap 7.62 NATO for less than 30 bucks a box if you just want to do some cheap plinking
