Target of opportunity this morning.

The wife had stepped out on the back porch and was doing some deer watching, so I grabbed the binos and my coffee to join her.

The deer spooked and were alert to the back fence and we weren't really sure why. Thats when we saw this female step out in the pasture. I keep an old throw down ar in the barn for just such occasions. I ran in and grabbed it, and when I came back out she had just stepped back out of the woodline. Not sure if she was headed for the chicken coop or the ducks that stay around the pond. Either way, she done now.

Doesn't appear she's ever had a litter of pups. Despite the rough fur, she was plenty healthy. At least 40-50 pounds.

The 60gr vmax did a fine job at 200 yards.

Well damn... you're right. Saw the first 6 and Bourbon played a mind game with me.

Apologies to the OP.

I need to stay out of the classifieds while drinking.

Very interested in this scope ... Hopefully official info will be released soon.

Updated,

I’ll take it, e-mail coming your way

Doe and young bucks taste better than older bucks.

Store all your hunting clothes in baking soda. Brush your teeth with baking soda before you go out.

Yeah. They renamed a lot of them after a few accidents in the 90s.

Thomas, then RAW would be my only two picks. If you go with the RAW, contact Martin and have him build you one with the BR stock.

C’mom man! He’s already got a pilot hole and a floating head drill.

The reason for opening up the port is to run Wolf anyway since it’s a 16” MLGS, so no harm, no foul. He could blow through the other side and as long as he doesn’t go all the way through the barrel wall, Cleatus won’t notice.

In all fairness the Finns didn’t have a choice of allies. They were vastly outnumbered and out gunned.

I would have used cutting fluid.

If your area only produces 100”-120” deer, you’re gonna be frustrated if you’re wanting a booner.
Kill your legal limit of does.
If you’re hunting trophies, hunt with like minded hunters.
You’ll never have large mature bucks if you kill them young.
Good leases are expensive.
Food plots matter.
Your camo doesn’t have to cost more than your rifle.
Don’t get in someone else’s stand on public land. Lol

Don’t be skeered!

In the Micro Actions like a Vixen or Howa, you won’t have enough tennon and receiver thickness for full pressure WSSM. We’ve already looked at that.

Hoop strength isn’t there. I would also wonder about lug strength. Those micro actions are meant for .222, 6mm PPC, Grendel, stuff like that.

They’re just not built for fatter, higher-pressure cartridges. Howa was able to do it in .450 Bushmaster because the SAAMI MAP is 38,500psi, nowhere near 65,000psi of the WSSM.

A good buddy of mine really likes wild-catting the WSSMs, mainly to 7mm. He used a R700 size short action with custom feed lips and magazine work. Spits out 180-195gr with extremely tight ES and SD, yielding sub-MOA groups at ~1 mile even on 20” gong. First time he grouped it at 1710yds, he put 7x 195gr EOLs into 14 1/8” CTC, 5.0fps SD.

My favorite of the factory WSSMs is the .257 cal of course. Smokes the others easily. Load it with the new VLD class of 131-135gr .257” bullets and you’ve got something. It also has a 30˚ shoulder, not a 28˚ like the .243 WSSM. I always wondered how it would do with a 40˚ shoulder and some other bores like 6.5mm and .277”. We already know what it does with 7mm.

Y’all come on and play. I don’t care if you like football or not, it’s not about that. It’s about strategy. Can you make it deep into the season? Will an upset take you out early? TBH, I’m not a huge football fan, but I like playing this game. So far, I’ve won this thing both times I’ve played it, so come knock me off my throne. I double dog dare ya!
