Looking at the list of things you want to shoot with one rifle I'd say the .270 will give the most versatility and have good knock down for the larger stuff still. Just my opinion.
Now then, get your equipment—your quiver and bow—and go out to the open country to hunt some wild game for me.  Gen. 27:3

Model 88 in .308 would work perfect

Not the cheapest to shoot, but if you reload its not horrible. .257wby mag. Personally I've been wanting a .264win mag for a long time now.

I'd look at a .264 Win Mag or .25-06 or .257 Wby mag.

I need an all around gun!!

I have, 300 rum, 30-06, .22, .32 winchester..

I want something cheap to shoot, I will be shooting alot.

Coyotes, speedgoats, prairie dogs, those big coyotes. And so on

I wanna carry one gun at all times, what would you buy??

I'm curious why some are saying the 264 Win. Mag? How is it cheap to shoot?

Not only that, but recoil is a little much for something you want to shoot a lot.
