“”Get a .30 Carbine M1.””

That’s the one caliber I’ve never owned in a rifle but I do have a couple of the old 3 screw Ruger Blackhawks chambered in it. My favorite pistols for varmint size game. The factory 110’s are OK for most applications but I shoot 90 grain Hornady XTP’s for varmints. I get just over 1800 fps from a 7 1/2 inch barrel. You’re still going to have the flash and noise the 30 Carbine is notorious for but it’s a better setup for a pistol. I’ve never shot that load through a rifle but I suspect the velocities would be surprising.

I've used mine in similar circumstances to yours. My wife and I used to live in the woods in NE Alabama on one acre surrounded by 100 acres of hunting lease. The woods were full of coyotes and rarely presented a shot over 100 yards. I replaced the upper handguard with a picattiny system and a low cost, zero magnification Sig Sauer red dot pistol sight.

It's very quick handling, even by carbine standards, and just the medicine for coyotes at those ranges under those conditions with the 110 grain JSPs.

***That’s a nice compromise between a carbine and a pistol.
