Is that the match or ultra-match barrel?

1-8 twist?

That is epic!

No pass through on the shot, were you able to recover the bullet?  That could make a really cool addition to the mount if you did!

Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.”

That is a true trophy.

Great story, and one he will tell his children and grandchildren.

That is the coolest story ever! To be able to see your son take an animal of that caliber is just amazing. That memory, is a better one than taking it yourself any day! Good for you, and your son!

It's the Match 1:8 twist. Going to build another one with the 18" ultra match barrel.

That smile on your son's face is what it is all about!

I have to admit, I would have played that for all its worth it is was my son. I would have reached in to the badger hole (when I worked up the nerve) then start screaming and acting like it was pulling me in the hole, pull it out and fall over backwards like it jumped up and is attacking me, LOL

Very cool badger!
If we were supposed to be vegetarian God would have made broccoli more fun to shoot!
"HOYT" why would you even consider shooting something else?
