.....using a AAC Micro 7 which is a rem mod 7 rifle with a 1/2x28 thread with a SOCOM RC2 can in 300 blk using 220gr subsonic on coyotes and if they are out beyond 250 yards I hit em with a 110gr fast load thats pretty good to 600 yards.

....top it with leupold 1.5-5X Mk 4 with their blackout reticle. The one with bunny’s and turtles on the reticle.....:o) Greatest scope ever for the 300 blk / whisper loads.
Very very nice quiet lightweight “bolt action” rig for predator control. Add in all the free MP3 predator calls on freeper Varmint Al’s web page and its a solution to a problem tool of the nth degree in my opinion and experience.

Stay Safe my friend and hope yer well.....
Thanks for the recommendations. Have a 6.5 Creedmoor to tag targets at 1 mile. Locals are picking off woodchucks at 700 yds with the 6.5 Creedmoor for warmups.
Been looking at that...... interested in your pros and cons of the 6.5 Creedmoor . BTW here is a great site you need to spend some read time on.
He is an awesome engineer of the precision rifle game and long range gear, tools and shooting. Good man, Texan, etc....
If you're hot to tag 1 mile targets, the other detail is the scope base will be built with 20 MOA elevation as a starting point. You need some very good glass to do it.
For less demanding use in a 6.5 bullet, the 6.5 Grendel barrels are being delivered on AR-15 compatible uppers. The 6.5 Creedmoor needs an AR-10 platform. Normal bullet weights are 120 and 140 gr. Muzzle velocities are around 2950 FPS. Twice the weight of a typical 5.56 with similar muzzle velocity and better ballistic coefficient for a very long flight.
Creedmoor has broader factory ammo support than Grendel. Hornady supports both. Same bullets. Different brass.
