[QUOTE="SBruce, post: 438878, member: 21068"] I would say go with the 22-250. I don't know how windy it gets where you are, or far away you plan on shooting, but if you're talking truck hunting.......then you're probably going to have alot of moving/running shots. in my experience, the clock is always tickin pretty fast when coyotes are in the crosshairs. A little extra knockdown power is nice, and you can load a 22-250 extremely fast with light bullets if you want speed. A heavy long barrel is not needed, and more of a hinderance when shooting from the truck than a short barrel for **** sure! Short heavy barrel.......best of both worlds, especially if you shoot light bullets and fast burning powder. Once again, [B]the clock is ticking[/B]. I highly recommend some sort of ranging reticle with holdover dots/dashes of some sort. Reason is; even if calling coyotes in a full camo outfit, they don't stand for extra movement (like using a rangefinder and then dialing in the scope adjustments). They definately don't usually give you time for this when shooting from the truck! These recomendations are based on hunting coyotes in pretty open country where the wind blows alot and shots can be pretty far at times. Also based on hunting educated dogs (they stand still until the truck stops, then they are gettin gone!) Best of luck. [/QUOTE]
