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

something 30 cal. 308, 30-06, 300wm. Pretty easy to find and relatively cheap, like other have said Tikka and some other brands will do you well and 308 would be a good choice. I actually use my SKS for hunting in the bush under 150 yards with hornady SSTs and took and Boone and crocket buck with it a number of years ago, gotta clean really good with bore paste but with the right ammo it'll work wonders at a short distance.
