BLUF: +1 for the ol' 30-06.
I have to disagree with the "not fur friendly" part. I've used my 300SAUM and 30-06 to take Coyotes and have had FAR less damage to the pelts than w/my 223WSSM shooting 55gr ballistic tips. The 223 hits it and makes a HUGE hole with no exit. And no, it doesn't matter where I hit it. I thought it was due to bone explosion but hit one in the lung area and the same softball size hole appeared. I'd sell the [beeep] thing but put too much $$$ in it before I did some LFT&E (Timney trigger and nice dose of Natural Gear). Pretty cool to see the coyote go down but absolutely useless if you’re looking for "fur friendly". The 300 and 30-06 goes through and through leaving two tiny holes and one DEAD coyote. Add that to the fact that I feel EXTREMELY confident when I take them deer hunting due to all the predator practice I have with them.
Being a self-proclaimed student of the sport (several books, DVDs and countless hours in this forum) I'd have to agree with the assessment made earlier that the 22-250 is the most widely used predator medicine.

7mm mag
12 gauge
Gotta agree with Carcass collector, many times i have very little pelt damage with the .300 or 7mm, i don't know why, but often times the exit hole is no bigger than the entry, just about the same diameter as the bullet itself. The odd time though, if i hit em right, then theres not much but a head, spine and legs left.

I thought maybe you were going to put an Acog or something on the forward rail. If your getting a reciever mount for it I would suggest strongly the Basset Machine mount.
Stays zeroed, one bolt on and off and returns to within 1/2 moa. I've tried a few different ones and like these the best.
