New member, new gun

Hey guys, new member here. I just bought a mod 16 in 243. Wanting to turn it into a coyote gun and maybe also whitetail. The gun is only 3 years old and has the stainless barrel. The stock has been painted, but doesn't look too bad. I put a 3-9 x 40 Nikon and a bipod on it. I would like to eventually put an aftermarket stock on it but thats on down the road. I bought a box of Winchester varmint x in 58 grain. Got it bore sighted tonight but I won't get to sight it in til Monday. I'm just looking for any tips y'all might have to offer a newbe to the coyote hunting world. Thanks.
