How would the SKS be for a woman(not real big) for coyote hunting??

They make a paratrooper model, which I believe has a shorter barrel length, and stock.

Would be perfect for a smaller framed woman to bag some coyotes with.

Nearly all SKS rifles have a short stock, which makes them fit smaller people better. Accuracy varies. It can be a good coyote gun out to 200 yards, if the stock fits well (the barrel and action of the rifle, not the person), which seems to be a common problem for accuracy.

It all depends on how much you wish to spend, and how long a range you are interested in shooting at.

For about three times the price you can get a .223 savage bolt action that is three times as accurate out of the box.

Are you already a huntress, or just considering it?

We could start a separate thread on this and I estimate you would have a hundred posts in two hours. It is just an observable thing about freerepublic and gun questions.
