if all you have to choose from is those 3 I'd choose the .22 mag but I would not recomend any of the 3 for bobs or coyotes. theyre are much better rounds than those three. any of them will disapoint you for what your asking

not much of yote and bob cals you are looking more into a plinker that could take yotes and bobs. i would look to the 223 if i was you they are very cheap to shoot and will do very good on yotes and bobs as well

If your looking at a lever gun and that's what you want, there are some Browning 65's and Marlin 94CL 218 Bee's around.  Browning makes a BLR in 223 Rem , 22-250 and some older ones in 222 Rem.  Then theres the Marlins and Win's in 219 Zipper.  Plus a bunch of levers in larger calibers.

After the first shot the rest are just noise.

I too would have to go with the 223 as well.  Besides, there is a vast amount of military surplus ammo out here if you just want to blast away some days.
