Backyard Buck
Shot this deer behind the house at 8:15 yesterday morning. There is a bigger 8 pt. around with long brow tines...actually thought that was the one that I was shooting. Oh well, this one will work. -

New toy - mounting question
I used to have a 700 BDL like that in 30.06. First thing that I did was remove the iron sights (which I never used anyway) and installed the plugs as you said. Was a nice gun...had a trigger job done, and the stock shortened with a recoil pad added. Killed my biggest buck ever with that gun... -

Rings and Bases recommendation
Congrats on the new scope...great choice! I have a Leupold VX-5HD 3-15x 44 Firedot Duplex on my new Super Grade and used the Leupold steel 2 pc. dual dovetail bases with the dual dovetail steel high rings. Nice, solid combo. The gun is a tack driver. -

Ammo shortage causing hunting problem?
All set here. For the 2 rifles that I bought this year (Winchester Model 70 Super Grade SS .264 Win. mag, Model 70 featherweight .308), I bought 2 boxes of factory ammo for each. Nosler Accubond 130 gr. for the .264, Federal Non Typical 150 gr. for the .308. Ammo was purchased from Gun Broker...- ludville1

What muzzleloader to order?
^^^This! I also have a T/C Omega .50 in stainless/laminate that I bought new many years ago. Awesome rifle, never a hang fire or misfire, super accurate and consistent. I use BH 209 (100 gr.) and Hornady SST sabots (250 gr.), topped with a Leupold VX-R 3-9x 50 scope.- ludville1
