Good budget rifle for deer and coyote hunting...

A fine choice to be sure. The 6.5x55 is one of the most versatile calibers in the universe IMO. No compromise there. Well done. Range report coming soon?

What about the bears??

What about them, 6.5 is perfectly adequate for bear defense

I have to agree with Stevens 200 over axis, much more customizing options available

Range report coming soon?

Range report will have to wait since I don't know which scope I will top this rifle.

For now I will find some weaver base and buy a trigger assembly like Timney or Bold...
