I got this 8 point yesterday afternoon. I bought the 760 the year High Brass was born and it became his favorite rifle. He put a Vari-X III 2.5x8 on it. I have it now and used ammo he had loaded for it. I field dressed it with his knife. It was a great day but lacking without him hunting with me.

When I was a boy I remember always looking down at my kill as soon as I got to it. As I get older and loss more lovedone/hunting partners I find my self looking up first. High brass beat you to your buck. Good job and best wishes.
