Well, I figure this question fits semi-well into this thread. What is the realistic range for coyotes on a .22 mag -- and should I go for a head shot or somewhere else? The rifle I shoot is a plain ole Marlin 882SS, but that little guy is easily capable of sub-MOA.

So...what range and where to aim? Thanks fellas!

Forgot to mention -- I would certainly be out with hollow-points. Normally I shoot 40 grains, but I could pick up some RWS 50 grainers if I need too. Thanks again!
