Nice Deer and fine rifle and caliber..............well, I think it was fine...........no rifle photo's so you maybe pulling our leg.

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.

They have been doing it longer than any firearm!

Need a 250 Savage if your going to use a 25 cal. After such ridiculous statements it shouldn't surprise you that the wife and I each have a 250. The old man used a Bob, very effectively, about the last 15 years he hunted. It was a dream cartridge from his youth. Nice buck.

He killed several with it, but I was never happy with the accuracy of that rifle. I had the trigger tweaked, but did not bed it. Best accuracy after much testing with bullets, powder and primers was about 1.75". The cartridge is entirely capable of being a dandy whitetail cartridge, but the rifles so chambered can be finicky.
