Cheap coyote gun help

[Kayakfish1]

Good evening everyone!

I’m looking to pick up a cheap (relatively) coyote rifle.

Want a bolt action, threaded, reasonably lightweight, I’m leaning towards 22 arc but I’m open to other options (22-250, 6 arc, or 243) this will be a daytime hunting rifle since I’m happy with how my thermal gun is for night shooting.

It will ride in my truck 99% of the time for the occasional coyote, groundhog, skunk, or any other varmint I might encounter while out checking my hunting properties during the day.

I have been leaning towards a gen 2 Ruger American, but I have also been eyeing the 110 predator gun from savage.

I’d love to piece together a custom rifle but that doesn’t fall in to my budget at this time…..getting married, starting a new job, moving, and paying for a honeymoon has really cut in to my play around money hahaha

Any input is greatly appreciated!

I think the Ruger or Salvage should generally work, especially if "cheap" is one of the main concerns.

You can alo find the less expensive Tikka models in .22-250 and .243 as well... although you may have to step up to a CTR to get it threaded from the factory.

Look into the SIG Cross it has some very good hunting reviews. Might not be your definition of cheap but bang for the buck might put you where you want to be.
