2 days ago I went out to the usual gas line cut away area. Set up and immediately had deer rolling through. It took all I had to wait for legal shooting hours. Finally the clock hit 7:09 and a small doe walked out. Ranged 455yds, Dialed 4.25MOA and sent it. Dropped on the spot.. awesome. The next day my daughter wanted in on the fun so we set up but much closer to the usual crossing area. Shes always been a heck of a shot with what ever she has in her hands. I trusted her taking the 265 yard shot while locked into the BOGPOD. She made a great shot and had her 2nd ever deer down... one of the biggest does I've seen. Fun stuff! 75ELDM once again anonymous photo sharing

How has the Zeiss V4 held up for you dialing?

Nice job to you and your daughter.
Are you getting any exits with the 75s on deer?
I've been shooting 88s exclusively in mine

I've been shooting 88s exclusively in mine Sometimes I get exits sometimes I don't. It seems the further shots exit and the closer shots don't. I've got some 88s also but just haven't got around to loading them up yet. How are the 88s working out for you? Nice stuff! That sucker is making meat! The hams on that doe were as big as some bucks I've processed!

88s are working great for me, I see more exits at 200-300 yards than I did with the 75 amax in my old 22-250 AI.
I'm not sure that inside 400-450 yards the 75 isn't the better mousetrap, as far as drop and drift goes though.

This is my seventh Speedmire and likely THE Favorite,though I've not even shot it yet. Hint. Need to sort through some new scopes,including a coupla NightFarce and kinda/sorta have a NXS 2.5-10x 42 MIL-R slated for it,assuming it tracks,repeats and holds zero. Should know in a day or two. Hint..............

Yeah my 243 didn't shoot either, haha. A little mag box work and getting the front mount screw off the barrel threads had it singing.
Only problem here though is getting the King of Cali to stamp my 22 creeds 6mm.

Big Stick , does your plumber do any work/blueprint etc. on the Kimber ? Or rebarrel and good to go?
Once you take a gander at 8-32 base screws they seem like the way things should be. < Stouter.
When my 22-250 R-700 that Mickey Coleman rebarreled passes-on - 7tw 22 creed is next. over.

Montucky receivers as a rule,are exceedingly concentric,though if something is amiss,it gets corrected. Hint.
Ronnie did it Rightest,with (5) 8x40's and Wilson HILARIOUSLY fhuqked even that up,amongst all their other Goat Fhuqks to save a penny. Hint.
I've a 7" RPM 22-250 Mike Rock on a 700,that is a fhuqking hammer and prior to the Invention of the Kreed. Hint......................
