Awful kind of you Marty... He shot that rifle plenty before it ended up in your hands....

Once he drew his tags this summer, I tasked him with doing research, and deciding what cartridge he wanted for his big game rifle... though I did reserve the right of veto. It needed to be appropriate for Pronghorn, Deer, and Elk. After a lot of questions, and the perusing of several reloading manuals... he came up with 7/08 all on his own... so that’s what I got him. We shot it out to 550 today... and he missed his first coyote with it.... but I have a feeling he’s gonna clobber a lot of stuff with that little rifle over the next decade or so. Next up, is his Colorado 3rd Season Mule Deer tag in three weeks.

Dogshooter: My congratulations to your son and to you!
Way to go. Please pass along my congratulations to your son.
All three of my VarmintSons have also harvested Antelope early in their lives/Hunting careers, and your pictures bring back many special memories for me.
Thanks for sharing.

Congrats to your son - that is a nice buck. And he must also be a darn smart kid:) He sure picked a great caliber!! I'm a bit partial to the 7MM-08 having owned a few - just ask Marty. Anyway, I'm sure he will have great luck with that rifle, looking forward to many more pictures with him and dead critters!!

Congratulations to William and dad! I watched my son shoot his first deer two years ago. It is an awesome experience.
