Ruger MM77 in .257 Roberts with 110 gr Accubonds pushed by RL17 for my wifes first season.

So far this year I've used 390 grain Gold Tip arrows tiped with Montec broadheads, 50 cal Knight bighorn using 300 grain SST's pushed by 100 grains of FFF Tripple Seven and now I'll be using my Savage model 16 stainless in .270wsm with 130gr Accubonds pushed by RL25.  Ahh this Multi-season tag is great, authough I will be  :bash: if I don't get something.  Regardless, an excused to spend time in the woods is worth the cost.
We could say [Democrats] spend money like drunken Sailors, but that would be unfair to drunken Sailors. It would be unfair, because the Sailors are spending their own money.

Ruger wow big shocker there huh hawkeye 7MMMMMMMMMOH8

It did have a trigger upgrade from the 5000lb pull standard ruger trigger....it was supposed to get a bipod put on it but.....came back from visiting a friend still minus bipod installed....course then I am gonna need a sherpa to carry it for me....I am a wuss.....and its a heavy gun...the plus side is she doesnt kick me and I hate recoil so put up with the extra weight

now I will say I am jealous of the pink skirt that is awesome :chuckle:

Nice rifle! I shoot a 300wsm with a 180gr partition when I use my rifle! Nothin wrong with a big round especially when you only shoot them once!!

I shoot a Remington 7mm Ultra Mag, wife shoots a Tikka 270 Short Mag, and my new favorite is my 8 year old daughters Remington Model 7 243 with the 18 inch barrel and a modified stock for her pull, fits her perfect and hoping she will get to use it this Saturday.

That 7 Ultra pushing 160gr Accubonds is one wicked open country rifle, I know. :tup: Groundhogs are a ton of fun with it also! :o
I love that gun, you can really reach out and touch something with it.  I do most my killing out to 400 to 500 yards being the reason I purchased it.  I like sitting up and glassing big holes.  Scope is in the shop right now but when it gets back I'm going to start shooting those 160's, was shooting 140's and had a hell of a time putting a bull down at 420 yards.  Groundhogs sound like a blast, so much fun I'd probably melt my barrel down doing it.  Lol
When you see the third, thin the herd.
Right now I'm somewhere picking up sheds.
