I'll just say that left handed shooters are better than right handed shooters!!! By the way, what caliber rifle? Tell us more about the rifle too, and load data if you don't mind. 382 is a good poke. Beautiful buck. Ted Kennedy's car has killed more people than my guns | |||

Over a 4 day period, 382 yds was as close as I could get to this buck. I shot him with a 280 AI (Win 70, pacnor win fwt contour, McMillan Edge stock, williams obendorf bottom metal, and a Leupold 6X36 in Tally LW's) and the 140 TTSX at 3100 fps. | |||

Nice. May I ask who built the rifle? I'm seriously considering the 280AI with my Krieger that is sitting in the safe. Ted Kennedy's car has killed more people than my guns | |||

Mick McPhee in Kamloops B.C. did the barrel work, and I did the rest of the assembly. | |||

Congrats! That second pic really is impressive because is shows the size of the neck and ole bruisers snout. I'd really be interested in hearing how old he was - a grandpa or a great grandpa?

Great buck, cool rifle... too bad the bolt is on the wrong side though! On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

Chuck, That is a MAGNIFICENT Buck. Kudos on the shot and kill. I don't think it gets any better than that!!! Alberta is THE place. Don P.S. Chuck, the binox you're carrying, are they Swaro 8x30's? If so, how do you like them? | |||
|
| one of us |
They are 8X30's and I love them. | |||

Chuck, Thanks. I've been thinking about a pair of those same binox as they have excellent glass and are light weight. I have a pair of Swaro 7x42's, with superb glass, but they weigh in at 33 ounces..  Don | |||
