I am considering the purchase of an AR-15 type rifle, or possibly even a Ruger Mini-14 Ranch Rifle for coyotes only. I know that the AR will be more expensive than the Ranch Rifle. Ruger has just come out with a target version of the Ranch Rifle for a little over $1,000. I know that cost-wise, the price is far less than any AR version...especially one of the custom target AR rifles.
1. Would it be advisable to just spend the extra money for a good AR, or go with the Ranch Rifle?
2. Considering that there are many more calibers available for the AR, which would be the best caliber for coyotes: 308, .20 or .223? I don't care about saving pelts.
Here is the Ruger I am considering:
Ruger® Mini-14® Target Ranch Rifle - Laminate Autoloading Rifle
