RE: good overall gun for yotes, deer and varmints?
I agree with everyone that said .243. It is definetly the way to go, .22 is too small, anything 30 and up is much too large for small critters. All it'll do is make hamburger outta them

RE: good overall gun for yotes, deer and varmints?
so a .243 for coons, deer, yotes, hogs, possums and any other animal in that range? what is a .223, .30/06, 30/30 good for? i would be using this gun on probably just yotes and coons and target shooting if that changes anything....

A 223 would be great for coons and yotes and target shooting. When you threw deer hunting in the equation, that takes it up another level to a 243.

I guess the price all depends on how much you want to spend. LOL
YOu can pick up a Savage/Stevens for around $279 I believe for a low-end gun that will still shoot very well.
My AR I'm shooting right now I have about $750 in the gun by itself, without optics or back up iron sights.
My 243 I'm shooting is a Savage special run gun that I got for about $500 without optics.
