This just in from Postoak Cowboy! Evidently he got serious this morning and drug out his old .300 H&H, built on an old Winchester M1917 receiver and barrel. Put together by old Austin gunsmith JF "Buster" Kreuz over 50 years ago.
I think he's happy with him!

Edm those are awesome! Love the Kudu!! That buck I got this morning is my best so far. The barreled Winchester Action is dated 2/17! Figured it was fitting for the old Dough Boy!

EdM, Is that Kudu record class? it looks gigantic from that angle in the pic.
No, he just very wide which is why I went after him. He measures 53 1/2" so still pretty decent.
Conduct is the best proof of character.

My 1886 scored about two weeks ago and I was encouraged to place the pic in the Winchester kills thread.
95 yard shot and she dropped right there. My 86 is a 33WCF loaded with a Hornady 200 grain flat point, 42 grains of 4895. Love this old rifle!

M70 Featherweight in .257 Roberts using hand-loaded 90 gr. Barnes x bullets. It's a critter killing machine.
