Just shot this Blackbuck in Texas with a 6.8spc and a Barnes 95 Gr TTSX and CAUGHT THE BULLET! It looks like it came out of a magazine ad...perfect performance. Also note the Rifle is a Remington 700...it didn't go off all by itself.. The bolt didn't fall off... And the Leupold Scope never wavered! Will Miracles never cease? ![[Linked Image]](https://s6.postimg.org/3oa2enk1d/IMG_2419.jpg)

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)

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. Johnny this one could have gone better. 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.

That looks different than the 223 LTR barrel I have, more like an LVSF. Were the 6.8 LTR barrels different than those for the 223 and 308?

Let's see, .270 Rainbow lite, Talley LWs, a Leupold, Walker trigger, bolt handle stayed on, and bullet failed.
Lotsa things working against you. But the Poobs spoke.

The bullet traveled almost the length of the blackbuck...3 feet of penetration, plus it was designed to open up at 6.8 velocities... no complaints from me on performance!

That looks different than the 223 LTR barrel I have, more like an LVSF. Were the 6.8 LTR barrels different than those for the 223 and 308? Good question. Yes they were 22 inch fluted, mag contour, and the original stock on that rifle was LVSF configuration like this one I put on a deuce.. ![[Linked Image]](https://s6.postimg.org/4iko191kx/deuce.jpg)

I know what your sayin, my bolts open when the safety is on, I’ve never used tape on my muzzle, I’m really flirting with disaster!!! Hell I don’t even carry a “backup “ rifle on most trips!!! I really don’t know how I’ve gotten by!!!!...... grin

Congratulations! For, um, bagging the critter and living to tell about it. You used a Remington 700. Gutsy!

Are you gonna have the coon mounted? Nope, can't afford it after the car repairs.... What a dang freak accident. A raccoon causing 3K in damage. How much of that did you have to pay?

Nice critters! Are you going to have the racoon mounted?

I didnt get the insurance.... and my policy doesn't cover it..... Fudge! Every time I get the insurance nothing ever happens and I feel like I wasted money. Sometimes your credit card provides rental car insurance.

Sometimes your credit card provides rental car insurance. OK get this...I didnt have cell service where I was so I figured to do the right thing, get the car repaired and settle up later. Well...the credit card company wont reimburse unless you got approval from the rental company to do the repairs....soooo, no dealership for the car within 60 miles, no way to contact the respective companies ( no long distance on my motel phone...) so it looks like I'm gonna eat this one....
