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

.243win. I see another say .308 which is darn hard to beat as well and my own preference for bigger game. If you reload, you can do a lot with the .308; both are available on the shelf which is probably the most important thing to consider. .270 is still boss as well.
