Killin' machine. With the wonderful Merkels and Blasers shown above, I'm hoping you'll humor my plebian inquiry concerning this rifle/chambering. I don't think I've seen that one before.

Killin' machine. With the wonderful Merkels and Blasers shown above, I'm hoping you'll humor my plebian inquiry concerning this rifle/chambering. I don't think I've seen that one before. Sorry for the tardy response. Have not visited this thread in a while. That is a rifle that I purchased on Gunbroker for a very reasonable price for a custom. The seller said that the rifle had been smithed by the late Bo Clerke out of Raton, New Mexico. I was told it was a Bansner Stock, but Bansner indicated he did not remember it. Winchester CRF action, Broughton Barrel and chambered for the 6.5 Leopard (6.5-300 WSM). It is also very accurate wit the Sierra 140 gr. Spitzers 100 yds, off bench at PSC range. 200 yds. off bench at PSC range. the above, are "cherry-picked" but show the type of accuracy of which it is capable. https://www.outdoorlife.com/articles/guns/rifles/2007/09/65-leopardHere's a hoglet that was dead before he even knew it....... My favorite shot is two inches below the ear on an imaginary line, between the ear and shoulder. A tad off, but sometimes between when my brain sez' squeeze and my finger does, these critters move a skosh. Had to be shooter error. LOL ya! GWB

Keep killing them! Where did you get all these. My lease is in Burnet county Briscoe Ranch, Reagan Wells, Uvalde County, Tx. Its a target rich environment. I do not think we are going to have a shortage any time soon. We have been concentrating on trapping lately. Just hope they don't get "trap savvy" too soon. ya! GWB

I almost got on a lease that was owned by the Briscoe’s. It was close to Uvalde. It had a bunch of guys from Oceaneering on it.

It does look like you have plenty. Took this last time I went, more weren’t in the picture. I was a Dumass, didn’t have the trap gate set. Aoudads come to that feeder some, was hoping to kill one, so I didn’t set the gate. Should have, might have caught all of them.
