Title: Got her done!
Post by: jdb on March 03, 2020, 06:53:01 PM: I've been putting together what is to me the best deer/coyote rifle. I started out with a Remington 700 sps compact, did a kwik klip conversion, tally lightweights, b&c alaskan TI, leupold vx3 I 4.5x14, and a timney trigger. Pretty excited to get it all screwed together and get to shooting

It is an awesome cartridge. Flat shooting and low recoil, and great for deer. I'm with you- it is my favorite to take to the range or the field.
