I think predator and varmint uppers are too heavy for walking around coyote gun. I like those for shooting gophers from the truck.

A well-balanced accurate 16 inch mid gas upper that shoots MOA Is a better fit.

IIRC this one of several with a lightweight 16 inch barrel. No problem on longer shots. 77 grain TMK
