Salvage, .260, package deal, ass shot, etc. etc..

Gotta have an 8/0 hook to load all of that bait.

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 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......

YGBFSM. You are either a bs troll or you are crazy, or both. On not one occasion could you kneel and shoot off a knee or shoot from a sitting position or get a rest on the side of a tree?

Yep, RL called it

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!!!

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....

Throttle fixes everything. If it doesn't fix the problem, it’ll end the suspense.
