Has to be a nice bear or otherwise it walks. Looking for a nice coat for a rug.

What'd your neighbors say when you were taking that picture on the sidewalk? :chuckle:

Because you like a blood trail wider than it is long :tup:My guess is that if they have lived next to him for any amount of time, they have seen way more disturbing than that. :chuckle:

That was like my sister's first deer, a young doe. Shot with a hot-rod .25-06 handload at around 50 feet :chuckle:
RT, what's your load data?

This setup loves factory remington ammo right off the shelf. I dont shoot it enough to hand load. 180 Scirrocos. My go to gun. The thing shoots awesome! One long poke at a bull at 562. He took a dirt nap..
I love to bang yotes with this thing! It makes ugly holes

will that leave a big hole in the fur? I've never shot one with a projectile moving that fast so serious question.all the deer I've shot with a 300 RUM have had an exit about the size of a fist. But that was with 150 sciroccos.

My 2012 bear had a small entry and exit. About a 35 yd shot though.

It's easier to pack back to the truck when they're gutted, debone, and packed up all in one trigger pull.

I've also got a 300RUM, M700, LS, SS. I bought mine the first month it was offered. Love it......for what it does..... :tup:. Not quite as necessary to use as once thought, but it sure instills the confidence while hunting.
Which 180gr. Scirrocco's....? And I ask because they've had at least one upgrade to their initial offering. And if the initial offering.....we should chat....... >:(.
Nice rifle and good luck.
