So my current gun I use for deer is a .243 and I love it. However, I am looking for a gun more suitable for coyotes, hogs, and large varmints. Any Suggestions?

.243 is perfect for that you mentioned.
Try some light weight varmint loads (55 - 70 grains) for coyotes & such, 90-100 grain pills for hogs.
If I was gonna buy a different caliber, it'd be .308 or .30/06 for bigger game & the big hogs.

What you're using is perfect...If you just want to add another for varmints I'd say 6.5 Grendel in an AR platform.

If you are still out there, not sure your budget but the Ruger American is a great value, maybe 22-.250?

I still want to know what a "large varmint" is. 
I learned long ago you can't reason someone out of something they don't reason themselves into.
