It would be the AR or the Savage 340, I killed a bunch of predators with my Stevens 840 (same rifle) in 222 Rem. For me it would be how it is set up. I prefer a scope with lots of FOV on the bottom end (40+ feet) as calling coyotes can get up close and personal. Most of my called coyotes are under 100 yard and a majority of those under 50. My go-to guns wear 1-4, 1.5-5, 1.5-6, 1.75-5 or 2-12s, 3x on the bottom end and I start getting claustrophobic . All of these are 300 yard capable.
My got to .224 bullet is the Speer 52gr FB HP, very reasonably priced and performs great.
