3 years ago. I swapped the trapped door out for a drop-out magazine in my Rem 700. First morning I took it out after that, I closed the bolt when I got up in the stand. I had a huge doe about 200 yards into a field. Put the crosshairs on her neck. CLICK.
OOPS. Might want to put the loaded...
What size is your scope objective? I need the lowest setup on a T3X Lite for a VX5HD with a 42mm bell. Not sure if I want to get the medium backcountry one piece or go with the 2 piece steel base and low rings.
I would say it's a toss up between 270 and 30-06. But I recently found a hot load in .270 with the Barnes TTSX 110gr that is absolutely devastating on any game. So I say 270 because of the mass availability and lower cost.
