Hello New Coyots Hunter...
Like you I am new to this forum but look forward to hearing much from the others here. Do I understand correctly that the area you live in does not allow for anything other than shotgun and .22 LR/MAG? If caliber is not an issue there I would highly recommend a Savage Model 10GXP3 in .223. If you get the package it comes right out of the box with rifle, sling and a decent 3X9 varable scope. The day I bought mine I went out and had it zero'd in at 100yds in 4 clicks. I was amazed at the quality of the rifle itself and the new AccuTrigger™ is awesome!
Another very good option is a Winchester or Browning in the new .25 WSSM. While either of these are a bit more pricy than the Savage you still get a lot of gun for the buck. Personally, I went with the Savage because of a long history of great craftmanship and low price.
I apologize for rambling but you will be hard pressed to take down a 60# coyote with a .22 and wanted to suggest another caliber.
Death to all Coyotes! =)
