Got this one last week. Just now getting around to posting. He was with a doe just like every other buck I've seen in the last 3 weeks has been. The 100 grain TTSX outta the 25/300WSM and thru both shoulders at 40 yards stood him on his nose!
Didn't have my good camera in the woods.

Re: 2010 Arkansas buck.

Nice work. I've been watching for the rut to hit on the second full moon past the fall equinox for the past five years. It's always within the same week. The bucks here on Crowleys ridge and in Ravenden jumped sure nuff stupid last Sunday.

Thanks Ok, I'm really happy with the rifle! I'm getting 3775fps out of the 100 gr bullets with 66grs of RL22. And it shoots em a little less than 1/2moa all the way out to 440 yards, which is as far as I've got to try it so far. That TTSX hit this buck running right around 3600fps and by looking at what was left of the near side shoulder you could tell it! There was blood under the hide nearly to the back of the ribs. Oh and btw you can loook at some better pics and the specs on my rifle in the field photography section in the Savage pics thread on page 10 I believe.
