[QUOTE="Joshuak12, post: 1353634, member: 40350"] This is a little off track, I guess, since it's not a true deer rifle and certainly not an option for larger game. But how about the .222 Remington? It's been so overshadowed by the .223 that if you mention it to a lot of people (particularly the AR crowd) you get corrected because they think you meant .223. But the .222 is a handloader-friendly, affordable cartridge for which a lot of highly accurate rifles were built. You can shoot it all day with zero recoil issues and when you do get a crack at a coyote it is effective. For someone who likes to carry a rifle around the farm or ranch to have ready for varmints and sneak in some practice time here and there a well built bolt action .222 is hard to beat. [/QUOTE]
