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 know it’s not a rifle but a 12 gauge is pretty versatile, also keep in mind in some provinces and municipalities your limited to what caliber you can shoot for coyote. Where I am located the projectile has to be less than .270. For coyote. We use either 22 wmr or #4 buck shot
