Honestly, I think the whole crouching comment is ludicrous. Coyotes will not come near a human, regardless of the “profile” they make. Unless you have some strange neighbors that have befriended them and they’ve become very used to humans, I wouldn’t worry about that comment.
The mini I used to have was a stainless model with folding stock, came with a 20 round clip and used standard 223 rounds. Some models shoot NATO 7.62X39 rounds, but don’t get those. They aren’t worth a crap over 50 yards. I was able to get a few 40 round clips before they were banned too. With coyote shooting, they just move so darn fast, I couldn’t ever get more than one shot off before they’d disappear with a bolt action. That’s why I used the mini. There is no recoil, it shoots very accurate up to 300 yards, and with 40 rounds at your immediate disposal….. well – enough said about that.
No if you are looking for a hunting rifle, that’s an entirely different discussion.
