I have a Bushy, AR15 MX15 ES2.  20"barrel w/ iron sights.  I know it depends on the shooter but how far out is this thing accurate enough to pop Coyotes?  I'm hitting reasonbly well at 100 yards w/iron sights.  How far can you hit em?

 I've hit soda cans out to 300 yards with my Bushumaster XM15E2S using a 3x-9x 40mm scope.  The rifle shoots better than I do.

 I suggest putting a paper target up at various distances.  Shoot.  Record the conditions, the ammunition, and your results.  Become familiar with your ability to shoot the rifle.

 My rifle shoots fine.  I'm the one doing all the missing.  [8D]

A 1 MOA rifle could still put them into a 6" circle at 600 yards.

If you can judge the range and dope the wind, yes, you should be able to pop them out that far.

Edited to add, as far as you could probably see them.
