Amazing rifle!!! Misprint on speed though, it is 3147fps. Shoots smooth, and extremely accurate. Built by Axisworks, what more needs to be said!

The 90 HVLD @ 3300 in a 1:7" would work too. At 4000 AMSL, 59*F, still has 1000ft/lbs & 2240fps @ 720 yards. 715ft/lbs & 1893fps @ 1000 yards. I have a buddy whose daughter has killed 3 mulie does with a .223 Rem shooting the 69 SMK @ 3000fps out to 230 yards. So I think heavier and faster would whoop a Coues buck. I think DSE has a .22-250 AI with a fast twist shooting heavies.....

My EH1 is 26.5oz. w. Sendero contour inletting (before bedding)

You can keep up to 100 different shooting strings. They give you ES, SD, and average, you can see each shot velocity, and they give you up to 5 (I think) velocities at given yardages. I do MV, 25, 50, 75, 95. Amazing how fast a bullet bleeds off speed. You don't have to shoot "through" it, you do not have to set it up perfectly aligned both L-R & U/D flat and square, you don't have to strap it to your barrel, easy to read, you do not have to worry about environmental issues like clouds/sun/rain, keep it on the bench or shooting mat at your fingertips.

7mm 140 Barnes XLC from a 7 STW @ 3400fps...…. Yeah, it was that long ago that I shot my good Coues.

Bump for an amazing rifle. Perfect mountain rifle for deer and elk out to 800 or so.

Sierra took their Match King line, added a plastic tip, and labeled it TGK for hunting for those not willing to shoot a "match" bullet on game. Basically a TMK (tipped match king). Which I love in my .280AI. I shoot the 160 TMK @ 2991fps. 3 shots @ 100 5 shots @ 200 after zeroing Keep working with them. They should come around.

I love mine too. No suppressors in my arsenal, so no issues. Never get readings at the range from benches next to me. The ONLY issue I have is battery life. Get a battery pack, and you are golden. I go through 6 AA every week pretty much for a 5-6 hour shooting session, and I am really good about turning it off between firing strings.

And what part of TX? Drive time? And hunting time of year?

You sunofabich! This rifle is awesome. It shot multiple groups in the .3s by both the owner and myself. Awesome mountain rifle for deer/elk. It is immaculate. Has a Triggrr Tech @ 1.5# if I remember correctly.

Save a horse, ride a cowboy..….

I like a great set of 10x42s and a great set of 15x56s personally. 10s in a chest harness always, and they ride a tripod when glassing under 1 mile. 15x56s always on a tripod for glassing out to 3 or so miles. And a great spotter for taking a good look at anything.

In my .280AI, I use H1000 under a 160 TMK @ 2991fps. I use RL23 under a 175 Berger Elite @ 2975fps. RL23 is very temp stable. And accurate. And gets good speeds.

I found two female pits who had obviously had a few litters in the past way out between Canyon and Apache Lakes this morning coming back from a site. They would not let me touch them. I got within 3', but no closer. Sure wish I could have wrangled them in the truck to bring them back in. After 10 minutes of me coaxing, they took off. Bums me out seeing people dumping animals. My dogs are family.

The "guy" has a man-bun and shoulder pads......so…...yeah. Probably gluten free, vegan, organic pizza too. We would have gotten beat up at lunch recess......
