CraigK Report post Posted July 20, 2016 Firstcoues that rifle is sweet! How do you like that brake? I'm going to have Kyle put one on my 7mag in the near future. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
firstcoueswas80 Report post Posted July 20, 2016 So far I like it. The real test will be shooting from field positions as gas goes everywhere! It kicks less then my 257 wby. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
firstcoueswas80 Report post Posted July 20, 2016 Lance, here's my very first group from the gun. The 180 Hybrid at a VERY leisurely 3106 fps. Not even a hint of pressure. Very optimistic after this. This is the first group with the 175 ELD-X at about the same speed. Super pleased with the preliminary load development with the rifle. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

muledeerarea33? Report post Posted July 21, 2016 Hoping to be using the artist formerly known as 30/06. When it becomes a 6.5-06AI. I'll have around 3 months or so to get it figured out but if not I have my 243 that loves me. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Barnesboy Report post Posted July 22, 2016 I finally drew my first Coues tag this year and am stoked. But after getting permission from the wife haha. Am buying a Remington model 700 in 7 mag and I'll be getting either the Vortex Viper PST 6-24x50 or the Viper 6.5-20x44 PA with a custom hunter turret from http://kentonindustries.com/custom-turrets/vortex. I'll be using Barnes Bullets match grade ammo in 150 or 160 grain bullet. Being that it's my first whitetail tag ever am going all out for this hunt. I plan on holding out for a buck in the high 80s to bigger. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
