Hey guys ,
SO, maybe this will be controversial, maybe it will not. I have been eying various forms of compact rifle, for well before I even had money to buy a rifle when I was a broke ass no gas student.
Anyway, When I finally did muster some coin, I spent it on the poor mans meat gun- Savage axis 30-06.
I still have this rifle, as well as a few others that have come and gone, anyway I figured it was time to get into something small, handy, and light to try out for this season as my quest for "The PERFECT" gun has continued. I walked in looking for a T3x compact in either .243 or .260 and walked out with a M77 compact in .243- crazy deal.
I plan on hunting deer, bear, and Elk if I manage to come across a 6x6. I have been looking around, it looks like lots of guys like the 95Gr SST and kill shots I have seen look dramatic with it.
The first deer I ever shot was with a 7mmRM @ 80 ish yards and it died in about 20 seconds. The second deer I ever shot was with a .243 and it died in equally fast manner so I am somewhat a proponent of accurate lethal hits vs monster mags- with that being said, I do have a custom less hiking friendly RUM.
What are you guys using for big game hunting pills in the 6mm/.243?!?
I have the following in my cabelas cart:
95Gr SSt
90Gr Accubond
100GR SGK
