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.
Luck....is the residue of design...

Ping pong balls for the win. Once you've wrestled everything else in life is easy. Dan Gable I keep my circle small, I’d rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies.
Ain’t easy havin pals.

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

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's where the GPS goes... 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.
