Got out to try it out.
Very windy.So windy in fact it blew a full box of ammo off the bench onto to ground.
Snowing.was kinda nice as I didnt have any company at the range and had the place to myself..
Bought 2 new boxes of Nosler factory ammo.
Have not touched the scope since last season.
Here it is.
Cold and clean at 300 yards.

2 more shots at 100 yards.

I used this rifle last year and got a freezer doe.
First time I havent run handloads since 81 or 82.
Im thinking this factory ammo is a might better than it used to be.
Talk about plug and play accuracy.
A big thank you to Randy at Accurate Riflle Works for a job well done..
I told bigstick I was running factory ammo.
he did not approve....

Today was the last day of Pa deer season.
Freezer doe at 300 yards.
Straight up high lung shot.
She did a 45 yard death run and piled up.
Nice sized exit.1.5 or so inches.
Would not expect a 129g ABLR to nuke and this one did not.
Poured the lungs out.

[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]
Ive shot better.
[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]
Still plug and play out of a box.
[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]
I figure roughly Ive got about 50 rounds on it.
I scoped it before season. You can tell its been shot but thats about it.
No real wear to speak of.
Still liken it alot.

Might as well be a 30-30 whistle

I’ve always meant to ask, how’s the 129 ABLR on bucks Dave? Seems like it should leave a pretty good wave of destruction at those speeds.

It's seems bloodie to me.. shot piles of deer 🦌 with ballistic tip . Got exits . Got blood. Got blood trails when they did run.
This set seems like ALOT more blood . Blood on the ground. Blood on the deer. Don't seem to matter where you hit them either. Must be the high velocity...

First time for Sunday hunting in Pa.
Sunny day kinda warm.
No activity. No shooting anywhere close or off in the distance..
Very few trucks out and about.
Quiet.
About 9 in the morning.
Just about to nod off and out pops two bucks about 250 yards away.
Movin fast.. Real fast, running toward me.. Comming in at me on a diagonal.
WMU 1B in Pa, is four up,on one side, with out the browtine to be a legal buck..
These guys running at me are both legal. moven... tic.tic.tic.
Im checken both going from one to the other with the Schmidt.
Ones just alittle bigger.
These guys must think im there dad or something as they keep comming.
Now there in my lap... I better get this done.
[Linked Image from i.imgur.com].
And.
Wish I had taken some more and better pics.
[Linked Image from i.imgur.com].
I guess the buck fever must have got me as I hit him high and back.
But he collapsed at the shot.
Didnt even twitch.
DRT.
Lost some back strap but im ok with it.
The Does i got with spongebob a week later tasted better..
Hes actually got some extra junk on him that would have made him a 12 pointer.
But had been doing some fighting. Got some broken tines.
Gives him character.

Great pictures. Dave you have to have 4 points on the main beam not including the brow? If that’s the case that’s pretty much a no brainer for the Schmidt’s and other alpha glass. Holy smokes. I’d be shiiting pine cones on them bucks.

It's actually 3 up not counting the brow. So a G2 a g3 and main beam is legal.

I like the schmidt's for the last 10 minutes.
You just dont have alot of time.
This all happened really fast
I didn't have time to admire them.
Was pretty cool that there was two of them.
