Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters MPBR....270W/130gr.

In my youth I was totally "un picky". My first antelope shot with a Husqvarna .270....40+ years ago and I remember it like yesterday...

Getting off on a tangent....sorry.

My best friend and me with his first buck...he used my old .270. I really cherish this photo as a great memory of my friend who lost his life in a car wreck when he was only 21...We still spend time together up on the mountain..

One of the best pics, and statements seen 'round here in a LONG time.

Great pics Pat, love the old Horn hat. Just 4 good luck I broke out and old one of mine this spring.

And just for Ingwe my first deer/elk/lope/bruin and yote were all taken with my .270...

Dober

Pat, good tangent and cool pic.


Put's it all in perspective.

w-walker- Great video!! Kinda makes me feel lame for not know how to use my turrets better!

Scenarshooter- I seriously hope you've kept some sort of journal/log of these hunt to go along with the pics. If not, I would recommend you start and even try to catch up from years past. Might not seem like a big deal now, but your boys will cherish it to no end someday down the road. My dad, who passed in '08 at 58, didn't take a whole lot of pics nor write anything down. I really wish he had so I could relive them and share them with his grandsons. Thanks for sharing the pics and stories with us.

You guys have accomplished much....greater hunters than I can ever dream or become...Hats off to you all!!!

Big Congrats!!!

Wow...awesome pics

pointer, Thanks!! Believe it or not I've kept detailed journals of all the outdoor things in my life since 1968. Back then it started out as a school assignment...I kinda got hooked on it and have been doing it ever since....some of it is pretty funny stuff. But its all there...all hand written too as I'm the worlds worst typest...thats one class I wish I would have taken back in the day.

I still have thousands of old pictures that need to be scanned...gives me something to do when the weather is too lousy to hunt coyotes. I keep adding a few here and there.

Hot Damn you're INCREDIBLE...Sure like ya know what you're doing out there!

Big Congrats!!!

SS- Good to hear! If you ever need help getting any of that typed, let me know. Seriously! I've tried to get things down, but haven't been as terribly dilligent as I should have. But, with son #2 coming next month I'm planning on getting caught up.

Wow...Awesome...that's alot of game you've killed!

I stand in awe and my son and I can only dream...

Congrats again!!!!!!!!

Take your son with you as much as you can....my best days and memories outdoors are from my youth, spent with dad and now with my own boys..

Oh yeah,,,that's all we do here in PARADISE

Its all about FAMILY time....QUALITY of LIFE is where it's at...My son is my ONLY hunting partner always will...

My oldest son with one of his first....he's almost 30 now...

Now ya talkin...All those other pics don't mean but much to me than that right there!

Congrats!

Anybody given enuff time can EASILY shoot stuff in the field and granted I'll get my day...3 yrs me and my boy ain't doing bad at all...

But that pic right there...if one keeps there perspectives in order...which some can't!!!

That is a TRUE EXPERIENCE that no one can take away from a father and son...!!!

That's MY LIFE

Good on ya...BIG CONGRATS BUD

Here's a couple of Bob's "cull" deer taken with the lowly 270.
Forgot I had these Bob - hope you don't mind me posting.






Time for a bigger house. *grins*

Culls,huh?

EZ: Yeah! Most were great good fortune....but all are 270/7 mag MPBR victims;some short range and some longish......which maybe goes to show both methods work if a guy is familiar with each of them.

And a guy could use both methods in the same setup, so he has the ability to reach with precision through his turrets beyond practical MPBR...

Steelhead has opened my mind up a bit and I am going to shop this week for a suitable scope to give it a try with some "clicking"....

Scott thanks for posting for me!

Hey nice bucks there Bob!

And if you happen to need a new home I can sell you some Montana land and Brad can build you a fine custom on it...grin

Only problemo is that there's no big bucks left here so you'll have to keep traveling..

Dober

(side note, I just got back from the range doing some dicking with clicking, gotta remember to move that darn turret back to zero though...tough thing for the challenged like me)

It takes a few times but once you get it in your head to turn it back to zero all is golden.
