After a tedious belly crawl through the cactus, George made a perfect shot on this nice buck at 440 yards with his 6.5 PRC, and one 135gr Atip.

Great pictures....

I guess George deserves some good hunting trips after building us all those guns.

Nice! 👍 memtb

Pardon my ignorance but what is the function of the picatinny device on the upper end of the stock? Never seen that on a bolt rifle before.

Dat?.....speaks for your knowledge of firearms.

Bring your best .270 out here next April, and I'll run my PRC head to head with it....

Of course you won't show up. Just like all the other rifle experts that are invited that detest the equipment we use.
