Sure don't need to go for head shots. I'd say the 223 is just about the best coyote cartridge there is. Should be good out to 300 yards.

In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

Nice!  They had a "plain" Stevens 200 in .223 at the Couer d'Alene Wholesale Sports for $200.00 (I just picked up one in .243.)  My .223 Stevens will shoot 1/2" with Black Hills and Fiocchi V-Max loads.

The rifles (they had some Stevens, Browning, CZ, Remington and TC) were on clearance because they were old inventory.  The half-dozen Stevens 200 (I saw one in .223, .22-250 and .25-06) that they had left was it.  I took off early from work and did a hour and a half round-trip to pick one up.
