The rifle is pretty short overall. The bipod is an el cheapo one that i have had for years and has been on everything from a .22lr to an AR platform. Is it perfect? Nope bit it was $20 back in the day and it does it job. Also I have a BOG death grip that the rifle is in about 80% of my hunts

Coyotes are great game. I love just getting outside for fresh air and scenery. Killing a coyote is just secondary. I'm using a 1997 vintage stainless/ synthetic Remington Model Seven 223 shooting Winchester 55grain soft points with a 4-14 Leupold scope in Warne Vapour rings on a 0 MOA EGW rail and a Harris 9"-13" bipod.
I do the same as the OP, use a JBL blue tooth speaker and have downloaded calls on my phone.
The better the speaker the better the results.
I know guys that use a $8 TEMU speaker and it sounds like shit

Is that a Ruger American with a Vortex Triumph?
I have a Gen 2 Predator in 308 and have a Triumph on mine. Your rifle looks very similar to mine except I have the gold-ish brown cerakoted model with the green stock.
Looks good with the FDE and black actually, I almost prefer that. They also look really nice in silver.

That is exactly the set up. I fell in love with the size of the ranch model and waited for the gen 2 once I saw it came with the FDE stock. I wish it was the gold/brown cerakote but I also like the black.
I actually bought the scope for on my mossberg 500 deer barrel but ended up mounting it in this instead.

The $120-$140 for the Triumph is just an insanely good price with decent Vortex rings included too. I honestly don't know how they can sell all that, and offer a lifetime warranty and still turn a profit. The glass is far better than it should be for the price.
I actually ended up returning the $400 Burris I had bought initially for the Ruger, and putting a Triumph on it because I thought the Triumph had better glass. I have one on a 223 and on my Ruger now too. I hope one day they make a Triumph in 4-12x and maybe price it around $160 or something.

I managed to get mine for $135 taxes in. Which was insane. I am kicking myself for not getting 2. BUT I am looking at upgrading to a higher magnification scope next fall. The 3-9 is great but I would love something a little higher on this rifle.

Cool. Do you use a Foxpro call, or similar?
