fun hunt.

Nice shooting fellas.

Good looking buck Rosco.

I shot a 5x4 Colorado elk at 489 yards with a Gunwerks RevX in 7mm RM and a 168 Berger. I center punched him right behind the shoulder in his bed and had to finally put him down at 539 yards. There were a couple of other shots in there.

Elk at 60 yards. 18” RAR in 7/08 wearing a Leupold 3-9, Shooting Factory Federal 140 Barnes. Bullet broke both scapulas and exited, bull went about 30yds.



Mule Deer buck at 547 yards. Rem 700 in 7mm Rem Mag in a McClassic, SS 3-9MQ in Low Talleys. 160 Accubonds at 3k fps.



Shot from the saddle where the red arrow is. I had been shooting rocks at 560 the day before... the thought of missing this buck never even crossed my mind....

Antelope, 85 yards with a Sako 75 deluxe in 300 WBY, Deer at 100 yards with a Pre-War Model 70 Carbine in 270 WCF, elk at 200 yards with Sako 75 Deluxe 300 WBY, and a porcupine at 80 yards in a tree with Winchester 1895 40-72...

Call me next time you go for one of those, I think I want one...

No doubt you would enjoy it. I am considering 2019...

I haven't had to shoot far YET this year. I shoot antler-less only. So far, I have shot two doe antelope, two white-tailed does, three fawns and a big mulie doe. Nothing has been over 200 yards. I have one cow elk and three deer left to get this fall, so we will see if I have to stretch it a bit, before I am done.

My go-to rifles this year are my .260 and 6.5 Creed. The exception is one deer that I shot with an '06 that I inherited from my wife's dad. I just wanted to kill something with it to say that I did. .

You rock EdM

Nelson desert bighorn ewe, 547 yards, negligible wind, after 5-mile spot-n-stalk. Ruger M77 re-chambered in 270 Weatherby Mag, shooting Nosler 140-grain Accubond handloads. 2 mil-dot holdover on Weaver tactical 5-20x50 scope (First Focal Plane). Semi-prone on sidehill: tripod with Bushnell bino rest for front rest, backpack and clothing for rear rest. Fun hunt, good eating.

Mule deer,

433 yards

Rem 700 in 260ai, 26" Shilan Select Match shooting 135 Berger classic hunters along about 3100 fps.. 6x SuperSniper...[

Blacktail 40 yards, flushed from my feet and made a dash. Savage 99F .284 145 gr Speer BTSP

Very nice Blacktail and gun.

Nice buck. Haven't tried the 135 classic hunters yet.

I took a nice 7pt whitetail with my Ruger Hawkeye in 264 win mag topped with swfa 3-15X42 an loaded with H1000 an the hornady 143 eld-x 375 yard shot. Can someone tell my why I can't load pic's from my photo gallery from my iPhone

I picked up a LAW Professional 280 AI with a Swarovski Z3 4-12X50 bt scope this summer and it has quickly became my favorite rifle. I didn't have time to work up a load for it, but used nosler factory 140 grain accubond ammo and got it dialed in on the swarovski turret.

I was able to take this 181 1/4" public land mule deer with it at approx 120 yards with the 280ai. (actually was my 2nd idaho deer on my 2nd tag)



My first idaho mule deer was a 20" 3x4 with the 280ai at 269 yards.



Lastly I took this Fall Idaho bear at about 220 yards with my 375 H/H shooting 260 nosler partitions.



Here is a picture of the LR tool of choice - even though my furtherest shot was 262...lol
