Semi decent !

Post by 6pt-sika »

Had killed a few deer already this season but got a semi decent one this past Saturday . Shot him at about 35 yards with a Mannlicher Schoenauer MC 6.5x54MS carbine . Have a Leupold Vari XII 4-12 on top . Used a Sierra 140 grain spitzer pushed 40.1 grains of IMR4350 . Took the top off the heart and he took a death run of about 30-40 yards . Tacks only 17” on the outside . Gave the deer to a friend suffering from cancer and not really able to hunt this season .

Nice! I've got an old MS model 1903 with 6 notches carved in the bottom of the butt stock.

Had a little success this evening at 16:45 . This medium guy came sneaking by at about 30-35 yards and I let him have it with the 6mm-06 shooting a Berger 115 VLD Match Hunting bullet . I had this rifle built and used a Hawk Hill Custom stainless barrel with a 1:7.5 twist to stabilize that long bullet . Deer made it maybe thirty yards after the shot , I took the top off the heart again This one didn’t get cut up tonight or given away , it’ll get skinned etc most likely Friday and part of one hind quarter will be used in the Xmas luncheon venison stew .
