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

Bolt action .308Win is probably your best "do-it-all" rifle. I'm partial to the Tikka T3x myself, but there are plenty of good options on the market.

Hot take but .308 has been made totally obsolete by 6.5cm

6.5 is going to be my first big rifle, and I'm looking at the Sig cross as it's light weight and tacticool looking (plus it's at basspro and I get a discount there)
