Whats your blacktail rifle / caliber ?
« on: October 16, 2018, 06:25:12 PM »
Just curious what your Blacktail set up is for the Modern firearm season? I've got a Marlin 336 30/30 with a crappy scope and a Weatherby wilderness 30/06 with a Vortex Viper 4x16x44. Thanks, Jason

This year I'm going to use my Ruger American predator in 6.5 Creedmoor. I think.

Either the 6.5 Badger (currently screwed on to an ARC Nucleus action) with 160gr bullets at 3400+ fps or the CZ 527 in 6.5 Grendel with 130gr bullets at 2430 fps. I like to have cover both ends of the velocity spectrum. :chuckle:
