James, you are in breach of PERSEC guidlines in that you failed to properly protect the buck's identity.

nice deer, I should make sure to include an animal in my post next time.

Haha

Jame, your holding that rifle like it was a M4.

The Old Corps statement just jumped out. A friend who enlisted about the same time and I, who retired as a Sgt Major, had a discussion on this. The New M4 way and the old M1 Garand/M14 way.

Obviously, I did not seem to make a difference, you got your game. Good Shooting BTW.

You are right! I didn't even think about it, but shooting pretty much any kind of rifle like that has become instinctive.
This deer didn't need much in the way of marksmanship. I was prepared for a 400 yard shot, and I got him at about 30! A .270 Weatherby Magnum really gets the job done. He was so close my bullet really didn't even expand, but it wasn't necessary. 150 grains at 3200 fps put him down in an instant. I don't think he even knew what hit him, which was my goal. I was pretty careful - I had several opportunities to shoot at things, but a lot of times I didn't want to take the chance on wounding an animal and losing it. I think that is heartbreaking.

What kind of a wrist watch is that?

It's a Bulova.

OPSEC, too much information - Gotcha!

Nice, James. Makes me wish I hadn't gotten rid of my deer/elk rifle (a Remington 700 ADL in.30-06, w/ 4x Redfield scope).

I'm looking forward to taking my son, when he's older (undoubtedly, over my wife's objections!!!!). I'm thinking of getting a used .300 Savage for him, when i have some more cash.

Let me guess: eastern Washington?

Thanks. I think you absolutely should take your son if you can. I got this buck in NE Washington, north of the small town of Ritzville.

[beNder]

That look great, hehe lots of veggies too I see.

How do you like the 270? How much did you pay for her?

The .270 is a family heirloom my father was given by my grandfather's cousin. It's worth quite a bit, but we didn't pay for it.

It's a great rifle, though the stock is a little short for me - the original owner was a little fellow. We'll probably replace that soon. It's very accurate and flat shooting, and very powerful. I like it a lot.

[zonk]

keep the old stock buy more internals and build 2 rifles

What kind of sauce did you make for the venison, James?

[Opening Batsman]

Nice and delicious!

Did you not heed DW's warning?

[M_trace1187]

[James]

I made Bearnaise sauce from a mix.
