Tell us about the rifle and load

Rifle: 20 year old Ruger M77 MKII Stainless 7mm Rem Mag

Load: 63 gr IMR 4831, Barnes 145RX. .75 MOA groups consistently.

Here is the last group I shot at 400 yards before the season.
I hunt, therefore I am.... I fish, therefore I lie.

Going to keep it separate for a bit. See if maybe I can find an end of season bear. If I can't, I'll probably go do some long range shooting at tiny objects and see if i can hit them. I have a little 1 qt milk jug dubbed the. "Money jug". Itnwould be a good 500 yard target.

Good job. .nice animals.  :tup:

I would save that bullet. It's earned it's place as the 4th round in your rifle for the rest of it's life. Who knows, maybe it's lucky.

May have to give the little booger up for adoption, he seems to be on a meat protest lately  :yike:  :chuckle: . Made a blade roast last night that was to die for, wouldn't touch it. Wouldn't touch the elk tenderloins last week either. Not sure he's even mine at this point.  :dunno:

Pfff they change their minds like the wind changes direction.  My kids have gone from wanting to hunt swans (gotta rein that one in) to never wanting to hunt because it hurts animals to their favorite dinner is meat.

That's a heck of a season right there! Thanks for sharing the story they really do get confident with their own camouflage I think that's the best way to put it.
