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)

Great looking Blackbuck there Poobah! Were you hunting in the hill country or west TX?

Nice work!
I'm surprised the Talleys didn't allow that scope to shift...so yet another miracle...

Nice one, maybe 90 lbs They are small, you did well. I’m surprised that Leupold held up. I need to trash all of mine from what I hear.
