.22 is too small for coyotes unless you're shooting at close distance and then shot placement is a must. If you want something that's fun yet 'somewhat' affordable (nothing will be as cheap as the .22) then I'd go for a .223. Ruger makes several varieties including the mini-14 which will probably be your cheapest. Should be able to find a good used one for under $500 but prices range drastically depending upon the part of the country you're from. You can buy decent hunting ammo for that if your tagging coyotes or cheaper FMJ for target shooting
