Congrats on a nice looking buck!
How about a photo of the bullet?

A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.

How do you the the 6.8? Specs on the rifle,please. I have been thinking of getting a TC Contender Carbine barrel in 6.8

I like the 6.8 more every time I use it. Mine was a Remington Light Tactical Rifle, which I yanked the stock on and replaced with the B&C Ti knock off....22 inch barrel, fluted, I installed an old style Walker trigger in it, Talley lightweights and a Leupy VXII 3x9...it kills bigger stuff tooo ![[Linked Image]](https://s6.postimg.org/wylc2sadd/IMG_2185.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://s6.postimg.org/dywyar2ip/IMG_2138.jpg)

ingwe,
How much does that B&C stock weigh?
My son wants a lighter stock on his rifle, been thinking about ordering one from Stocky's.

Beautiful blackbuck Tom. I always enjoy seeing and reading of your Texas hunts. Congrats on another excellent trophy.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

The hunt itself was great, went off without a hitch. I was looking for Aoudad and Blackbuck, obviously found one of them, never saw an Aoudad on day one.....then driving that night back to the motel I hit a great big raccoon with a really small rental car, apparently made of plastic. Managed 3K worth of damage, and put me on hiatus from the rest of my hunting till parts were acquired and re-installed....just in time to drive north!

Wasn't able to complete the aoudad hunt ( see post above...) Blackbuck were everywhere on this ranch so it was a question of finding a big one, with dark pelage ( to mount) and then getting the bugger to hold still long enough for a shot ( I dont need very long at all, but they dont offer it up often...) Anyway, we spotted this guy, spooked him, then were able to waylay him a couple hundred yards farther on. Shot was close...a bit under 100 yards, facing us. DRT.

Most excellent blackbuck, 'Gwe!
