6.5X55 is 3 for 3 in '09
« on: October 17, 2009, 05:55:40 PM »
Antelope buck, forkhorn mule deer, and spike elk all with the M700 Classic this year.

Lots of snow and crazy roads in the forest but I tagged this young fella about 5 p.m.  Getting out of the woods in the dark was no fun and the roads were nasty but I made it.

I just love it when a plan comes together.  ;)

Happy Hunter 2009


PS -- Just ran the GPS coordinates and a route map for meat retrieval: 0.99 miles from the road.  Ugh!  :o

I have two, an Issue Swedish M38 by Husqvarna and a Rem. M700 Classic.  tough to decide which to take hunting when the choice must be made.

Thanks for sharing.  I have been eyeing a 6.5x55 in a CZ.  May have to "pull the trigger"  ;)
