My two 250-3000's are still going strong. Get the 25-06. Its a better deer round than the 243 and every bit as good for coyotes.

Look for a good, used 25-06. I'm not a big Savage fan myself, so I'd rather hold out for a good used Remington, Winchester, or Ruger than buy a new Savage. You get what you pay for- a Savage that costs $300 brand new isn't going to be near as nice as a $300 used Remington than cost $500+ new.

The group below is at 100 yds from a new Savage 12 VXP in .223. The first 10 shot group (not shown)was to range sight the cheap Simmons scope. This ain't bad for the first time the gun was ever shot.

I have a remington 700 .222and it won't shoot like this.
