new gun .22-250 1:8 Tikka? Nope.....on my way to convincing myself to get one I realized Ive been wanting a Superlight in .223 with the 8 twist since they came out..I can get a bunch more use out of a .223... And courtesy of another member here..I found one at a good price....  Mounted a Minox scope I got from Doug at Cameraland and it looks like the perfect combo. Thennnnnnnnnn...Darrick send me the price on the 8 twist .22-250.....screaming deal he put together for us on that... Trying......to....resist.........  But I fear resistance might be futile...

I sure looked at that thread. Going to have to stick with the Tikka creedmoor in 6.5 for now. Sure proved itself this last trip.

Im pondering it HARD. My only .22-250 is a 14 twist, which limits bullet selection, but it loves the basic 55 grain Horn, and has killed everything I pointed it at. ( Plus, Ingwewife bought it for me, so its got to go hunting at least once in awhile  ) The 8 twist with a 55 TTSX would be like a "Laser" ![[Linked Image]](http://i560.photobucket.com/albums/ss45/thmsbrownlee/24HRC/laser.jpg)

I would be tempted to shoot that fallow buck or the wildebeest. Glad I didn't see them on my watch.
Great photos Brian.
You guys dug out yet?
75 here today. Animas river set a new high flow this afternoon. It beat a record that's over 100 years old.

I was BIG TIME tempted to shoot the biggest Axis Ive ever seen! But, he carried a big price tag! and I seriously don't need the horns that bad! But he was PERFECT! Big, Symmetrical, and gorgeous as only an Axis can be!

The 62 gr TTSX will be the bullet of choice for the .22-250

yeah, and those Gemsbok were flipping gorgeous, too... I'm thinking hard about a Blackbuck myself. You can't hunt them in their native country, so you might as well shoot one in Texas. They do make really pretty mounts, and supposedly taste good. My big boar head is at the taxidermist. His tenderloins went into the crock pot this morning. Hopefully he'll be edible.

Big buck. ![[Linked Image]](http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww231/brian342/TEXAS%202017%20115_zpsy7iackwa.jpg) I saw one whitetail who was just a 8 point, but a beast. He was probably 3-4 inches wider, taller, heavier, dark horned. A true Muy Grande. He came out of the brush 200+ yards away, spotted me right away in the blind, and went back into the brush. That's how he got big, by learning to spot people in blinds, and not sticking around. The gemsbok were the same, spotted me in the blind, and went back in the brush. Neither went to the feeders.

But I fear resistance might be futile... well, I jumped on a 7x57 today.... http://www.gunbroker.com/Item/628799641Lee indicates it was an uncataloged model in 1976. Only about 300 made. That one is like new, and the wood is drop dead gorgeous, exceptional even for a 1976 model. I sure was impressed with the .35 Remington on the last shot Saturday. Did not break a shoulder, a little behind the leg, but the pig dropped right there and bled profusely out the exit. Now if Ruger would kindly make a #1 in that caliber
