Nice buck! What rifle? That's the way I like to haul them in too. A loader makes it easy on the back.
Anson, that rifle is a Remington 700 6.5 Creed that started out as an ADL. I put it in a Remington camo BDL stock, added BDL bottom metal. Scope is one of those Nikon Monarch 3 that Walmart sold last year for $99. The BDC on that scope is perfect for the load I'm shooting.
I planned on selling this rifle as soon as I can lay my hands on the Model 700 American Hunter in 6.5, but it's a shooter, and I may just keep it.
I've always been told to never sell a gun that you shoot well until you find one that you shoot better! Just looked up the American Hunter. Wonder why they went with a 20" barrel? Why not 22"? I'll bet your ADL is 24".
I've been trying to resist the 6.5 Creed urge. If I didn't already have a 7mm08 and 7x57 Classic, I'd buy one. Let me know if you decide to sell yours but if I were you, I'd keep it.
