I'm brand new to learning about PCPs. It's overwhelming. Can anyone recommend a good semi auto PCP for coyote hunting? Thanks!

The Huben K1 in .25 is an option.
Mine shoots 48 grain slugs around 940-950 fps.

Rattler .357 w/ Griffin 145g LDC-HP slugs my 1st choice and my go to. If I’m running closer ranges and need to keep the noise to a minimum then the Leshiy 2- 357 with the behemoth mod and Hades

Lot of options at less cost that will kill coyotes. Semi-Auto is nice but certainly not a must.
1) what’s your budget?
2) what is the max yardage you plan on shooting coyotes at?
3)is Semi-auto a must have?
lets narrow this up a little bitalmost $3000. Guess I'll be saving for awhile.

Though it's lever cocking, you may find a Benjamin Bulldog M357 and a hand pump more in line with needs and price? Most high quality PCP's, and especially a semi auto, is a fairly expensive endeavor.

If budget is an issue, can't beat the .357 Bulldog although not a semi auto. If you can swing it, the .30 Sidewinder is up to the task. Mine shoots the .30 Hades at 80 fpe.

@LndscpeGrdnr You’ve received good advice on the cost of a quality semi-auto. The Benjamin Bulldog M357 is a great alternative. You can save for a while to get a good semi or learn to make your first shot count with other alternatives.

1. Upto $1750
2. 75ish max
3. Semi auto would be ideal because it's not uncommon for more than one coyote to come in to a call

Yes, excellent information, and I appreciate it. I think it would definitely be worth saving up for the Rattler. It's not uncommon for more than one coyote to come into a call so a quick second shot would be ideal.

I’ve got a couple with a leshiy 2 30 cal, honestly I think 357 rattler or bulldog would be my picks. I’ve got my m3 357 up to 170fpe and the other two easily out do it on energy and being able to get heavier ammo.

Hunted Yotes in California with the Huben K1 several years back. Wasn't my Gun.
Actually was the owner of the Company that makes the DAR rifles and it was his.

So many variables in hunting coyotes, are you planning to mainly go for Heart/Lung shots or brain shots ?
If your game is the body shot then I would definitely go up in caliber and use a .357 minimum ( of course .30 and .25 will do but I would rather have a larger wound channel and more juice behind the round ) if you planning brain shots then you can have smaller calibers but I would go for the most accurate gun possible.
A nice sidelever will do too, remember that you still gonna need time to line up the next shot so you will need time I don't think a semi would be that much more help in that situation.

Last yote I got was with a .30 Evanix RainStorm at about 43 yards.
It was a head shot but I did a follow up just incase.
I wouldn't even try the Evanix Max Air Semi auto .25 to be honest.
