UnderArmour gear, a Creedmoore and now posting pics like crazy. You've turned into something of a Renaissance man. ๐ Harry, don't leave out the turrets!

Bob, Now where did you find those really great components? Leaving Monday for 24 days. Be well buddy.

Just loaded up 50 Barnes 130g TTSX for Daughter #1's .308 Win. headed to the range with her day after tomorrow so she can get some practice. WY antelope ad CO elk coming up.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.
A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.

It's just a matter of time. Deer will show up at around 400, Bob will quickly spin a turret, hold dead on and do the deed. The world will shift on its axis and it will be snowing in Hawaii on Christmas.

Better shot of the rifle:

You missed all three times. I did indeed..... I am still messing with those turrets and my "zero". Something could be loose. Might need to check that scope or mounts....... see if you can find the reason for the lack of symmetry in that 'group'. But seriously, that's nice group considering you're using a 4X Burris at that distance........ or not. Just a dumbazzz trying to be a smartazzzz.

MM: The guys who put it together knew what they were doing. I was just smart enough to know that and buy it..

Congrats and the new rig.....
but guys like me have to handload....
factories don't make ammo, the likes of which I use....
like this deer season load for my 243 ADL... hunting at 30/30 ranges.... 30 grains of IMR 4198, with an 85 grain Sierra SP....
more than enough for a 120 to 150 pound blacktail at 150 to 200 yds or less...
as for Creedmore's, 20 years ago I became a 260 Rem man...

Seafire thanks! I had my eyes peeled for a 6.5 Creedmoor but waited for something that rang my bell. This is my first go around with any 6.5 smaller than a 264 Win Mag!
