out of a ruger 10/22, 12 gauge with a slug, a 25-06, or a 35 remington witch would you rec amend for coyote hunting

.25-06-it's the farthest-shooting, hardest hitting rifle you have....by far. With a fairly accurate rifle and a decent scope, 400 yard shots would not be out of the question if you do your part.
The .25-06 is fast, and this is desirable to minimize bullet drop and wind drift. Your bullet will be traveling well above 3 times the speed of sound, and will arrive at the target before the sound of the gunshot does.

out of the guns you have i'd go with teh 25-06 it's your farthest shooting most accruate gun. I coyote hunt and use a 22-250 or a .233. I get more range with the 22-250 so I always have it but never use it because I can call them in close enough for the 223. Good luck and happy hunting

25-06 should combine range and speed with knockdown power. I wouldnt use a 22 to hunt them. That can end up with a lot of injured animals. The 35 would definatly take them down also no question but that is a bit punishing to you to im sure. 12 ga slugs would work but you severly limit your range and have to remind yourself to lead etc etc.

i'm an prolonged time coyote hunter in Alaska. those here strengthen an ideas-blowing fur in the wintry climate - a fur you do no longer desire to rip aside with too enormous a gun. 22lr isn't the suitable. I even have seen them hit and run a mile in the previous dropping. 223 is merely too plenty - tears them in a million/2. The 22 Hornet or the 17 HMR are probably the two suitable with the help of a few distance. You get greater struggling with capability and four circumstances the variety of a 22 - and - it does not injury the pelt. wish this permits

.22 is too small and short-ranged. 12 gauge will work close range, but it's overkill and darn slow for coyote.
You don't say what kind of range to expect. If it's heavy cover and they will be under 100 yards the .35 Remington will rock. Over that range, open country, the .25-06 is the one.

The 25-06. The .22 (ruger) may not have enough velocity to take it down in one shot, and then the slug and the .35 may be a little over kill for one.

A 10/22 is to light. 12 gague to heavy and not enough range. A 25-06 is a little heavy but your best choice. A 35 is a little heavy and expensive shells. My first choice would be a .17 or a .223

The 22-250 is highly recommended for varmints. Out of your selections i'd say stick with the 25-06.
Stick with the "fast" rounds because coyotes "jump" at the sound of rifle fire and this causes most folks to miss them.

.25-06 with 85/90 gr. bullets and set your zero at 200 yds. Any "yotes" within 4-500 yds are toast !!!
