From my experience 400 yard shots are a rarity, only a few licensed ranges allow you to practice at that range, you require better than average optics, which adds alot of weight. I had a good varment rifle in .22-250 with a 26" barrel & 6-18x50mm scope that could consistently do good 400 yard shots, but it was not a legal Deer caliber and it was far too heavy to pack around as a Deer Gun anyway.
Sounds like another pipe dream kinda wepon, light enough to carry for Deer Hunting, yet accurate enough for consistent 400 yard shots.
You might want to spend some cash on a rangefinder for christmass & use it to range stuff you would be comfortable shooting at, to tell the truth on coyote hunting, the difference between a 400 yard shot and a 200 yard shot is about 15 minutes of calling/waiting, that 15 minutes of anticipation is the best part of the hunt for me, and a consistent 250 yard Deer/Coyote combination Gun is much more realistic to find & use.
Just my 2 bits worth...
