Nice buck. Beautiful rifle. No flies on the ought six, despite rumors to the contrary.
20 years ago a hunting buddy wanted a Sendero in Rem. 300 Ultra Mag, but no dealer around here had one. So he finally settled on that rifle in 300 Weatherby. Worked up some really good loads and was rarin' to go on opening day of buck season. Not sure why he wanted that, since he already had a 40XB in 7mm mag and a 7x300 Weatherby, but WTH?
Set up where he had up to 500 yard shooting opportunities and waited for sun up. Around 8:30, heard a big pa-whump down the valley from where I was. Called him on the radio, asked what he'd gotten. Small buck, as it turned out. Then inquired, how far? Some mumbling and a barely audible "about 65 yards".
Asked if he'd had enough gun, radio went quiet.
