Ain’t easy havin pals.

The Whelen brothers at work. My two favorites. The 35 ![[Linked Image]](https://photos.smugmug.com/Huntin-pics/i-zzmHVBG/0/L/IMG_0876-L.jpg) And the 400. ![[Linked Image]](https://photos.smugmug.com/Huntin-pics/i-6hg43xN/0/L/IMG_1068%20%282%29-L.jpg)
Chronographs, bore scopes and pattern boards have broke a lot of hearts.

Nice Mirror work ! Sweet, Congrats Jerry 2hrs apart and less than a mile between! November 26 2016 RBO- That is awesome! It was awesome, but I never shot them, I was just the guide. They were both shot with my rifle though. The same client shot a 42" Bull moose on November 22nd, 3 trophy animals on the same hunt, the whitetail scored just shy of 172. All shot with the 280 Ackley and 140gr TTSX.

Whoever took this picture should be a professional. Truly wonderful work. Both deer are nice but that whitetail is an absolute whopper!
Only a fool would sell an accurate .30-06

That whitetail was a stud, this pic puts it in better perspective. 18 inches from the top of his head to the top of his crown. ![[Linked Image]](http://i881.photobucket.com/albums/ac13/Kurt505Hunter/9D1030CE-AB1D-49C8-BCD5-B5BE0A117001.jpeg)

gun, man that's a STUD, pistol, rifle, archery, RPG whatever. GRIN I'm very familiar with the Ouachita's. Areas have lots of deer, other areas sparse. However the sparsely populated areas CAN have some Monsters like that ! Congrats. Jerry

I spoke in this thread last year of having a 6.5 Rem twin to my .350 Rem 673. Well over the year I got to shoot and dial it in some, and this fall let it out to play.....125 NPT over H4831SSC....1.75X6 Vari X lll That came from the 'fire via SKane, cradled in Talley's ![[Linked Image]](http://i775.photobucket.com/albums/yy39/SSB58/KIMG0635_zpswhvorjgg.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i775.photobucket.com/albums/yy39/SSB58/IMG_20161204_224041_zpst9sunqku.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i775.photobucket.com/albums/yy39/SSB58/deer11-21-16%20184_zpssnzbyqjz.jpg) Most Satisfactory!
We eat organic in our house, we just have to shoot and gut it first.....

Nice trio there, CH!
My next 'build' is gonna be to grab a Guide gun in 30/06, send it to JES to be reamed out to 9.3 and drop it in another skelly I have waiting. Make me a little brother to the Alaskan!
Nice rifle and goat for your girl there. Bet it was tasty hanging out in that field!
Thanks - I like them a lot. Rain? Snow? Scratches and dings? Who cares??? The .338WM has a handy 22" barrel provided by Bear Paw Jack/Caribou Jack. It gets 2742fps with a 225g AB and H100V and is delightfully accurate - banging the steel at 600 yards is no big trick and I've hit clay pigeons at that range with it. Bought one of the cdnnsports.com $499 Ruger .30-06's with the 20" barrel as a wedding present for an April-to-be son-in-law. I was worried about the blast factor but it turns out not to be much different than my 22" -06 rifles. (Yup, I shoot them before I give them away. Gotta get them sighted in...) A Guide Gun in 9.3 would be a sweet rifle for serious work - hope it works out well. Ever since they came out I've figured if I was going to AK to hunt it would be a good excuse for a .375 Ruger. Can't really justify one for Colorado.

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.

Sure would like to put a Pa. Black Bear in front of this one (Ruger M77RSI MKII, 30-06). No luck again this past year. ![[Linked Image]](http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n226/35ruger/RSI1_zps41be9qdf.jpg)

Played me some Kimber roulette and hit the money with the 84M Classic Select in .257 Roberts from Rylee here: ![[Linked Image]](http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr166/efrrwake99/hunting%202016/E060753F-8E80-4512-B4B9-99D7AD4C941F_zpsitdzxkcg.jpg) 100 gr NBT & Hunter seems to work rather nicely on those Pennsylvania mountain bucks!
