You really want one of options in thirty caliber. While I’m sure someone hunts rabbits with a rifle you’d really use a shotgun or a really small rifle for them. .223 is a good coyote round though. There are better coyote rounds available and there are better coyote rifles in .223.

AR-15’s are popular because it’s an easily modifiable platform. It’s not the best for any one thing, but it’s pretty good at a variety.
