If it will be strictly a coyote/fox gun i would not go any bigger than 3-9x40 or maybe 4-12x40. If you are calling the shots should be inside 150yds the majority of the time anyways and even if they are out to 350 or so the 9x is all you will need. I do a lot of coyote calling and have used a .204 and .22-250 and all ive ever used was a 3-9x40 and never felt like i was under scoped. The overall weight should be less aswell, which is nice for carrying the gun. This is of course just my opinioin. Congrats on the gun and good choice of caliber!
