Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Almost sold my .308

Great bullet pic. I can't find 130 TTSX's anywhere. Have tried for awhile. Congrats on good huntin.

Nice!

I found them at Midway a month or so back.

I’m seldom without a .308, but seem to have a hard time hanging on to them. Now I find myself with two, and old Heym sporter, and a brand spanking new M70 EW MB, each filling a different niche. Pretty sure both are going to stick. With all the
.308 stuff I have on hand, I need to get after it hard with these two.

Holy fu ck, with as far back as that scope is mounted, no wonder she got scope eye. Some people..

Good suggestions, but he's not teaching her chidt.. He doesn't even know how to mount a scope on a rifle. She's going to be scared to shoot rifles, if he keeps that schidt up.

That scope needs to be move forward a good bit.

I’ll try to be respectful as possible here:
The photo of the rifle alone is with a Burris Signature Series scope that I removed from the rifle.

Look at her photo and zoom in if you need to, her scope is a Zeiss it’s mounted correctly and has plenty of eye relief.

Some people…well it’s better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to get on the keyboard and prove it.

Look at her picture, DIFFERENT scope, Zeiss, mounted correctly.

Enjoyed the story and by all means let your shoot a lefty rifle.

Curious, what brand boots is your wife wearing? My Mrs. could use the same boot.

Midway has them in stock now.

125 Accubonds or Sierra Gamechangers will lay low any deer you'll encounter and recoil will be less even at over 3000 fps.

Like my 308’s

A visit through Cabela's this week confirmed that if you shoot factory loaded ammunition that unless you have a .308, .223 nor a 7.62x39 you were sol for rifle ammunition. Best not sell that .308 just yet.

A cheaper version of these

killed alot of deer with the, 308, 7mm08 is gaining on it

Made a reduced load for a new hunter with little recoil in 308. Used Speer 130 gr HP Varmint bullet, 24 grns Shooters World Heavy Pistol. He has shot 2 deer farthest 70 yds both DRT.

Congrats to her on the deer she has killed. 308 and 125-130 gr bullets go together like peas and carrots.

Heck, in my neck of the woods 308's bounce off the Deer, Get a 30-06 !

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I’ve been around the block a time or two, been reloading for 29-30 years. In my younger and dumber days I shot .300 WBY Mag, .300 Win Short Mag and 7mm REM Mag. I’m not scared of recoil at all however I was just burning more powder for no reason. To date my longest kill on a whitetail (the largest large game in my home State) has been just over a 1/4 mile. This shot was attempted once and I actually killed the deer. No rangefinder just a good bit of guesstimating and a lot of Kentucky windage. No rangefinder? How did I know the distance? Well I spotted the deer in a food plot while I was walking to my stand. The food plot was a little over 1/4 mile (440 yards, 1,320’) from me, I knew this by looking at an aerial photo and seeing the timber changes on the property lines. I was a practicing forester for 15 years and used aerial photos daily.
Anyhow, I shot the whitetail doe with this very same .308. 1 shot, complete penetration, deer made it about 40 yards. Must have just been a really soft deer.
