    i agree....dump the casv and get a larue or dd rail.

    Bad idea. They get in the way of the charging handle and/or are too far back to do any good.

    Go shoot the ACOG, if you really like it change out the rail. If you would prefer a regular hunting scope get a lower power or lightweight with smaller obj and it will mount up fine on the CASV.

    I use Colt light weights with 1/7 twists but still shoot down to 50 grain bullets. I use Leupold 1.5-5 scopes on my LW's.

    Leave the bi-pod at home, get some shooting sticks, they allow you to be more mobile when one jumps across your lap.
    +1, shooting sticks are a much better option.

    +1 I like shooting sticks for being lightweight and quicker to adjust. I also like more magnification for coyote hunting as I often have shots out past 300 yards.

    What distances are you going to be shooting 'yotes?

    What is your budget?

    I've used Stoney Point collapsable sticks before, they are easy to carry but can get stuck in the mud and come apart if you have to readjust your shooting position. Not good if a coyote is on his way.

    I've used 2 wooden dowels screwed together and while not the easiest to carry are cheap and they work.

    Now I actually use a Stoney Point Mono pod, it adjusts to different heights, doubles as a walking stick and will fall out of the way if I have to move the gun quickly to shoot running targets or multiples. Regardless of what Uncle Jay says, they don't always stop!

    The vast majority of my shots on called coyotes are 50 yards and under, a solid bench is not required but the sticks or mono pod allow me to shoulder the rifle and use my other hand to call with. If I get one that just won't come in, they are plenty stable enough to take a shot out to 300 yards. Bi-pods have their place but usually get in the way up close and the coyote doesn't read the script and comes in from a different direction.
