They weren't shabby in my '06 Tikker. Love the 108's in my Faux 260 and wished like hell is was twisted 1:8 and AI'd for 139's.

Nice groups. What kind of speed are you getting with 56g H4350. My 1st gen Ti likes 62g. It's warm and clocks just over 3k but it shoots well.

Update: I shot an antelope with the 123 Scenars. 300 yards = bang flop. Will update with photos later.

Entrance pic. Antelope was slightly quartering to me. Bullet went in, and broke ribs. Then veered left, traveled the whole length of the antelope and came out his hind quarter. He lifted his head up, so I shot him again. (didn't need to, but force of habit.) I hit him in the neck. Bullet exited the neck and made three holes. One main hole a little larger than a quarter, and two smaller holes from shrapnel. Tikka...

Assuming it exited, what was the size of the exit wound? I hope to do the same this weekend.
Looks to be a little larger than your scope objective?

It did exit, but you cannot see it in the pic. A habit of my archery days is to aim for the shoulder on the opposite side. Didn't take any pics, but it did mess up the shoulder meat. Hardly any sign of an entrance, they go in a few inches and blow up I believe.
She dropped so fast that I thought I missed, even though I heard the blap.

Those Scenars seem like they're working well. Dogcatcher, great photos!
