A Bushy A3 20 inch, if you're looking for a factory gun. I would strongly suggest building one, though, if the prospect of putting together a lower receiver isn't all that daunting. You save a ton of money, money that's good for ammo and optics, which I would strongly recommend in your case.
Though you say you will be hunting coyotes. Ever think about an AR-10 (.308) type rifle, or perhaps a bolt? Just my $.02 |

Take a look at RRA Varmint SS 20" 1:8 twist A4 flat top. What range are you shooting paper/coyotes at? Now, if you are planning on toting that AR around a bit in the field, you may want something a bit lighter in weight, but go with a flat top for optics mounting. www.rbprecision.com/rb_precision_ar15_performance_tips_.htm |

Accuracy is a function of the shooter as much as the rifle. I'd get something simple with a flattop, simple FF tube and an HBAR or bull barrel, 20"-24". Don't skimp on optics, if you can afford to.
You can give a novice a $10,000 rifle and he will shoot like a novice. You can give an expert marksman a $300 dragged in the dirt, beater rifle with poor optics and he will shoot it with expert marksman accuracy or to the limits of the rifle, anyway. |

I've got a bolt action .223 and .22/250 that I use on yotes, but just thought it would be fun to have a semi/auto sometimes. I have been told it's cheaper to build one, but i really have no clue at all how to get started. I fugured it would be easier to just buy something used and pre-assembled

DO not Build one, unless you want to end up with Black rifle syndrome. I built on rifle. I know have three black rifles invarious configurationas and an AK47 clone. Thousands of rounds of ammuniton and I have also become a member of magaholics.
