This may be a trifle off-topic, but... can anyone identify this rifle?

86 or 71 Winchester, but I'm guessing. It's not quite right. Hell of a big action. Bullards and Whitneys are big, but I'm interested to see what it turns out to be.

No lever, unless it got somehow eliminated from the photo.

I'd say that's most definitely a Winchester with a broken lever.

I am sure the lever is there. You can see the beginnings of it come back off of the trigger guard hole. Otherwise, I think it's just lost in the poor resolution of the photo.

My guess is 1886 Winchester deluxe carbine with half magazine and pistol grip.

It seems like a lot of rifle to use on coyotes. Maybe he trapped them and then simply hit them in the head with a club.

gotta agree with that.

You know those cartridges look pretty darn long and somewhat thin, almost bottlenecked. Maybe a little like a .38-72.

Looking again, I think Brent is right and there is a lever. Just one that is almost invisible for some reason. Then, note the bulge on the bottom of the action just in front of the trigger guard. I think that eliminates Winchester and Marlin, and makes the rifle a Bullard.
