It's the absolute ultimate varmint slayer in a small frame AR. Nothing else even comparable. Run an 80-87 gr pill at 3250-3400 fps safely. Mine shoots Hornady A-Max's into 1/2-5/8 MOA.
I'd agree on the 3-15ish FFP.
Here's an old post of mine with some mag info (if you are making them yourself). I think Oly may have fixed the newer mags they have or maybe a whole different mag.

It was never a particular popular cartridge and Winchester stopped supporting it a while ago.
Not saying there's anything wrong with it, just surprised to hear about it, though with some quick Googling it seems it's somewhat popular in AR15s.
I like the PST Gen2 3-15x44, not too heavy or expensive.
If your budget is more into the $2000 range then there's a lot more options: Razor Gen2, Burris XTR3, NX8, Leupold Mark 5hd. All options have different pros and cons, depending of you want lightweight or a short scope etc.
SFP is what you want, your shots are still mostly going to be closer in. you want a scope that works well on its lowest power (your scope will be on this power most often) AND in poor light conditions. 3-12 huskemaw. don't laugh. I know the crowd here wants to. but its designed from the ground up as a hunting scope. cover up the name of the scope with athletic tape to make yourself feel better. I have static tested mine on a tall target and ran it for 2 seasons, I really like it. I also like the ziess v4, but the 3-12 doesn't come with turrets and the 4-16, I prefer 2.5-3x on the low end for FOV and running shots.
the other guys are telling you tatical/competition/range scopes. scopes are trade off's. you always give up something. a competiton scope makes a poor hunting scope and a hunting scope makes a poor competition scope. coyotes are my passion. I spend a couple weeks a year chasing them, from wyoming to nevada.
