My dad and I predator hunt together. I use an AR and he uses a shotgun. My AR has a 2-9 power scope with an illuminated reticle. We use a FoxPro caller and a handheld red light since we're not allowed to mount lights on our rifles in California. The AR is good for distance and the shotgun for when they pop up close in. (Technically, my AR is a 6.5 Grendel.)

Is your AR California compliant? Or do you not worry about it?

It is CA compliant. I use the Juggernaut Tactical button, I can't remember what it's called. I also use my Mini-14 (I've killed more Yotes with that than my AR) which is nice for close up work. Lighter and shorter than the AR and I don't have to worry about the compliance nonsense
 
These are my two setups. One is a savage 243 for larger critters up to hogs (not that I couldn’t shoot a deer with it). It has a Boyd’s stock, pillar and glass bedded, Timney trigger and quick detach ATN thermal for at night and a Swarovski z5i for daytime. Second rifle is a Ruger 22 creedmore with mdt stock with alIMG_3100.jpegIMG_0399.jpeguminum chassis and a Timney trigger. I actually use same thermal on this and a different Swarovski on it if I run it in daytime.
I also run a Ruger 223 bolt gun set up exactly like my Savage but with a Burris scope for day only.
