Save yourself some money. Instead of buying 2 guns, just buy one that can do it all. A .30/.06 is a great all around caliber. Plus finding ammo for it is never a problem and its cheap since its such a popular round.

Q:Is a 22 caliber rifle o.k. for hunting coyotes and if so whats the best shot?

A .22 will kill a coyote but there are so many better guns to use instead. If you want to use a .22 thats fine but you wont be able to take long range shots that frequently present themselves in coyote hunting. If you are stuck on the .22 then I would suggest using a .22 magnum. Use hollow point bullets. I personally use a .22-.250 for coyotes and have been very pleased with it. It is a great all around varmint gun.

Make sure all the screws on the scope mount and rings are tight. If not, youll never get a good grouping. I know many people who have gone to the range to sight in their guns and have gotten so frustrated because they couldnt hold a group. Once they find out that a couple screws were loose and tightend them, everything worked well.

I personally dont like to leave the gun cocked. Ive actually heard from many people that dry firing newer model guns doesnt hurt them at all. If you dont want to dry fire though, you can buy snap caps. Another trick with bolt action rifles is to close the bolt and pull the trigger at the same time which will release the spring without dry firing.
Illegal in Arizona. Get caught doing that and you will have a hefty fine to pay and could get your gun and or your truck taken away. Also, your ability to hunt in the state ever again.
