Henry has a reputation for very high and very consistent quality in their product line. I would never hesitate for one moment wondering if it was a good purchase decision.

As someone who grew up in the West Texas desert oil fields listening to coyotes "singing" almost every night I would not recommend a .22 magnum cartridge as I feel it underpowered for this game.
I would feel more comfortable with a .223 or .243 in a very accurate rifle.

Note: Coyotes are not dogs in the sense most people experience dogs. They are superior in intelligence and they are phenominally "attuned" to their environment. This is why calls and recordings do not achieve the results most purchasers expect. Good luck but do realize coyote hunting is not going to be an easy outing in the woods or desert.
