Cabelas exclusive savage model 116 in 6.5-284 Norma with the 24" stainless fluted barrel topped with a vortex viper 6.5-20x44. I'm shooting 140 Berger vld's with Norma brass and 58 grains of retumbo. i just got this rifle so I havnt had a chance to kill anything with it yet but she is shooting real nice!

Like alot of you guys, my first choice is my bow- Mathews McPherson MR5. But when I use a rifle I shoot my Steyr pro hunter 300 win mag. Its beded with a brake, hand loads, Leopold... shoots like a dream, stacks'em up way out.

Earlier in the thread i posted a picture of my muzzleloader.

I have since updated it with a cds dial and mcmillan stock.

i have one other thing to update and that is to get a different 209 ignition system and breech plug to shoot bh209 powder and barnes original 400 grainers for some longrange fun.

This is my other Kimber 270wsm 8400 Classic, topped with a Kahles KX 3.5-10x50 scope. (Sons gun, but mostly dads gun)

 

Unfortunately it looks like myself nor my kids will be using these for elk this year, the draw gods weren't in our favor.

I am going to continue load development on the 257 Weatherby with 115gr Berger VLDs and probably start working a load for 7mm remember mag with VLDs or Nosler Partitions. I also will be working a load for my buddies 3006 and possibly a 270 for another hunt buddy.

 

My buddy just put new glass on the 3006 so we are going to get it sighted in at 200 and start working on steel and paper out to 500.

Two of us drew elk tags for October this year. I'm using a TRG-42 in .338 LM loaded with a Berger 300 gr .419 G7 BC VLD, and a buddy is using his new Savage 111 XP TH in .270 Win in which we are working up some long range loads with CEB MTH 130 gr .540 G1 BC VLDs. Good luck to all of you who drew elk tags for this year.
