Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles What’s your caliber?

Had a buddy that was pretty proud of his 7mm mag. One day we took the four wheelers out in the hills and sat down to have some lunch and shoot the sheit. As we were sitting there I finished my pop so I jumped on the quad and ran it down the mountain and set it up on the hillside so we could shoot at it. When I came back he let fly with his beloved bolt action magnum and hit 6" low and right. He felt like that was a hit on a deer so he was tickled with himself.

I slid the 99 out of the guncase and got on the ground with my back up against the tire on the atv and laid the rifle across the sticks. I held 17" over and touched it off. That can went 30' straight up like a rocket launch. I got up, slid the rifle back in the case and that's the last I heard about the beloved 7mm magnum. Lasered 425 yards.

Until I got this one I'd hunt a different gun every season, but this one keeps killing deer and bear, so for me, make mine a Savage 99 in .284.
