That's a pretty wide question, must be why I am spread out. No adult supervision has not helped any, along with the company I keep, lol.
17WSM, 17 Fireball, 17 Remington (x2), 20 Vartarg, 204 Ruger, 20 BR, 22 Hornet 223, 22 Nosler, 22 BR, 224 Clark, 220 Swift, 6TCU, 6BR, 6 Creedmoor.
Just acquired the second 17 Remington, have goodly amount of 15-20 grain bullets. The 220 Swift was pretty much an accident, too good of a deal to pass up. Also my first Ruger #1 and first 220 Swift, bone stock varmint new the gent that owned it, safe queen. Got it all scoped up and set up this past weekend, no tack driver but shoots MOA out to 200, good enough for government work.

Spring is right around the corner so it's time to get the varmint rifles tuned up and ready to go. Took these three to the range yesterday. Tikka 8 twist 22-250; Jackson Game 220 Swift; Cooper varmint 223ai.
All three will get some use on ground hogs.

3.
6.5 PRC- long range for everything coyote, wolf, and cat.
223 fast twist running 80 class. Not a regular pack rifle but works very well
204 500 and less this thing is fun.

I honestly have never hunted coyotes, but I'd go with my Sako A7 .243 or my Windham .224 Valkyrie.
My son seems to want to hunt coyotes this year so maybe we'll give the .224 a go.
