Generally I won't recommend that someone go out and buy ANY rimfire to hunt coyotes. But in your case you already have it so I say go for it. Let's face it, most of us that have tried coyote hunting sat thru many empty stands before every getting a shot. Some of us still do. Callin a predator can be the most challenging hunting one can do. When you do start getting shots YOU will be able to decide for yourself if the 5mm is the gun for you or if you need to look at a shotgun or centerfire rifle. Personally, I determined that rimfires don't have the umph and range I need for coyotes.
