Well done all! Keep 'em coming!

Got this guy with about 5 min of legal light left with my M70 Classic in 30-06 with a 180 AB handload. Quartering shot and he ran up the hill and zigged while
the rest of the elk did a zag. Found him after about a 40 min search. Not too great on the hero shot, rifle is laying next to pack off to left.

I was hunting an old overgrown pasture in Hopkins County Texas. At about 7:45 am this buck slipped up in front of me only about 80 yards away. Unfortunately I was looking at the sun rise and had tall weeds in the way with really bright areas and super dark shadows which made a "skillet shot" a little more difficult.
He managed to go about 40 yards after the hit with the 130 grain Hornady interbond hand load. Exit wound in photo. entrance wound at edge of opposite shoulder. Had to shot a little back because of the tall weeds.
Rifle is a reworked '37 model 70 rifle.

Well done Johndog!!!

Nice buck, 1911!!!!

purdy rifle! oh, and nice buck

Nice one Greg!

Greg, fantastic buck an a beautiful featherweight there! Congrats!

You gents are knocking down some nice animals with your Winchesters!

I got this one Saturday afternoon. I've had a poor couple of years on the lease, and was surprised when this buck walked right out and volunteered. Shot with my pre-64 in .264 Win Mag launching a 140-grain Accubond at around 3150 fps. The entrance wound can be seen, the exit was just behind the off shoulder and lungs were completely destroyed. He ran about fifteen yards and expired.

I screwed two sunshades onto my scope that afternoon because when I left camp I still had not decided just where I would go, and from some of the spots I use I have to look toward the sun. As it turned out, I had the sun behind me.

Nice buck!

Very nice!

Thanks. He's actually a bit on the small side for my area, but I wasn't about to pass him up!

Congratulations, beautiful buck and rifle!! How do you like your R-1 scope?

Great to bag bucks on Thanksgiving Day, congrats to River Rider and Earlybrd! Eric, so far so good - my first European, still getting used to the heft. The R-1 scope is crystal clear and actually enhances light (as advertised) in the very early day much better than any 1" scope I own. Odessa
