That howa 1500 is a great rifle theyre truly a very reliable gun i have one chambered in 243
I would certainly add the 5# Bushmaster in .223 w/ a variable scope. It takes care of both pdogs and coyotes.
Sorry, 17HMR not even capable of Killing Prairie Dogs cleanly as I recently and disappointedly found out on a deer hunt in eastern MT. No way would I use it for Yotes or fox. Fun to shoot and accurate, but, thats about it.
I find it strange that the Mossberg MMR and MMR Tactical got no consideration. These are quality rifles and are performing as well as the $800.00 models at half that price. If you are going to do an article about predator hunting with economical weapons then do so without an agenda.
OL has a pretty good selection here, but I would strongly disagree with your statement that the .17 HMR is better for coyotes than the .22 Magnum, it's just not true, at least not for the reasons you describe. At longer ranges, that light 17 or 20 grain bullet actually drifts more and carries less energy than the heavier 30-40 grain .22 Mag bullets, which are slower at the muzzle, but don't lose velocity and kinetic energy as fast downrange.
