Salvage, .260, package deal, ass shot, etc. etc..
Gotta have an 8/0 hook to load all of that bait.
I replace valve cover gaskets every 50K, if they don't need them sooner...

I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

I've made shots like this off hand before. I guess I am out of practice. And no, I will not be selling all my guns! I've shot enough animals to know that when I miss, there is something incredibly wrong going on. I was just looking for some *helpful* advice. There were a few people that echoed my same thoughts. I was probably flinching and dipping the rifle.
I tracked each animal for 2-3 hours to be sure. I am not one to leave game in the field.

I'm honestly not trying to troll. For once in my life.

I had the same problem with my .260 on an antelope this week. Except that the gun shoots under a half inch at 200 yds with anyone shooting it......... I would check to see if the as issued from savage scope is junk first , I don't believe the scopes on most package deals are worth giving a five yr. old to play with let alone hunt with......

If being stupid allows me to believe in Him, I'd wish to be a retard. Eisenhower and G Washington should be good company.

I took my .260 out hunting this weekend. Big buck jumped up and I couldn't get a shot off in time.
I'm having .260 problems too!!!
I probably hit more elk with a pickup than you have with a rifle. I have yet to see anyone claim Leupold has never had to fix an optic. I know I have sent a few back. 2 MK 6s, a VX-6, and 3 VX-111s.

Mines been carried for a month, and I can't even find an elk to miss once, let alone 3 days/3 times. Talk about the luck....

At a range of 130 yards on 3 different days I missed. Point blank range, cross hairs right in the kill zone. I'm not sure what to do.
By the way, in case you missed it, Jeremiah was a bullfrog.
