I may concentrate on my 700 Classics this year, 250 and 300 Savage. The 250 got it done Saturday. Two hogs with two shots in about three seconds.

Got a mule deer at 547 yards, one shot with the 25-06. Seems the Leupold CDS actually does work. Headed on another deer hunt right after Thanksgiving, probably gonna take the 6mm Rem on that one. Christmas with dad will most likely see the 260 hit the field this year.

I’ve used everything from small to large and it all works . I enjoy using the 9.3 and 375 on deer though , clean hole in and out , dead in the middle , tracking is typically nonexistent. Still gotta deal with the deer camp know it all’s ha

MRC X2 .243 with a Schmidt & Bender 6x42. Both bought here, off the Classifieds, from members. The Left Hand MRC 243 will be #2 in the line up. #1 will be the boring old LH 270 KS. Looking forward to tagging a couple fat does. Want to try canning some meat this year in addition to putting some in the freezer.

Did you chop a standard or compact ? That 6CM a custom? Chopped a standard Tikka and put it in a Wildcat stock with a shorter LOP. The Kimber is a custom with a Rock creek barrel spun up by Shaen.
Yup.

Thanks to old age and arthritis, I picked up a RAR in 350 Legend and mounted a 2.5-8x36 VX3i.
longest shot will be 150 yds, i hope it works.

Tell me about the stock....not familiar, thanks. Btw, what bullets you running out of curiosity. 025 - rock that 9.3 - classic round, less meat damage I bet than a 270 RLA, that 350 will do just fine, I ran a Marlin 357 with 158s at 2050 over Lil Gun......LIGHT recoil, about 1.5 MOA - easy to hit where you aim, and blew the heck out of 2 liters and milk jugs at 150.
