Your season just ended? Wow, I have never lived in a state with a close on coyote season... Its open season on them here.

Can't give any advice because I haven't shot a lot of rifles built for coyote hunting, but I can share my setup with you...

I built an AR for messing around at the range, medium-long distance shooting, but it works good for yotes, too...

Model 1 24" Varmint, Versa-pod bipod, BSA 8-32 x 50MM scope.

I just leave the scope on 8 while hunting. Maine also has a limit as to how many rounds your mag will hold, so I had to order a 5 round magazine from Bushmaster.
