Yeah, that is funny. :chuckle:

By the way, I hunt with a Bob33. Kills them dead in their tracks.

I've been shooting a Ruger M77 in .270 Win. since 1986. I feed it Remington 150 gr. Core-Lokt. Taken a lot of Oregon Mulies with it.

shoot a model 70 7 wsm shooting a 150 grain winchester bullets and have a redfield 4x12x40 scope sitting on top
How do you like that rifle? I have an opportunity to buy the same rifle under 50 rounds throug it for $250.
    Its a great gun a lot of knock down power  can reach out touch something at 300 to 400 hundred yard range easy at that price i would have jumped on it

Have you tried the 180 accubonds outta that baby ? I found limited damage with the tsx outta mine but very accurate .





no, have tried 165, 180, & 200 all Barnes got the best groups with the 180's so thats what I'm sticking with until I shoot them all up
