Yesterday and old friend and I walked down to river, I had a sporter varmint in 223 that I had traded thru 3 before finding one that shot like I wanted, it was unwieldy with the 26" barrel so my smith cut it back to 23 " and put an 11 deg target crown on it , any how after watching the river we thought a beaver was swimming across, after looking thru scope it was a monster timber or as old timers call them cane break rattler, I went for head shot and 1st shot my buddy said I was an inch high, I drew down close and went for the mass behind head, let me tell you guys a 50 gr HP traveling about 3400 blew that sob into! Gator or Gar food! One swimming wide open in a river running 10 mph was not and easy off hand shot! I wish we had done the video but phone was 100 yards up hill in truck! Im just tickled to have had a witness!! very best WinPoor
