My new baby..

[Captain_Ahab 5,000+ posts]

Tikka T3 Lite in .300 WSM.. Topped with a Swarovski Nova 3x9x36 scope.. One bad little hunting rig! The small Swarovski provides enough light transmission to hunt WAY past legal hunting hours.. You could hunt on a greenfield with a full moon dang near all night long.. Unreal for a scope that size.. The gun weighs 6 3/16 pounds.. On average, 1- 1/2 pounds lighter than the average magnum rifle. Stainless steel barrel and receiver.. 22 7/16" barrel which is shorter than the standard magnum barrel (24").. Even though its a short mag, on average it has about 100fps more velocity and 100 more ft/lbs of energy at all distances than standard .300 Win. Mags.. I believe I now have the ultimate affordable hunting rig! I love it!

Results of the gun with a 165 grain Federal Fusion bullet..(bare skin is drag marks from dragging the deer on gravel)

Very nice. How's the recoil with it being that light?

It does pack a punch at both ends! Recoil isn't any worse than my dads Winchester Model 70 .300 Win. Mag... Isn't as bad as my 3 1/2" Mossberg 835.. But it does kick worse than both 30-06's we got..It is probably too much recoil for most people to be comfortable shooting it without flinching.. Sitting on a bench with the gun on sand bags, the gun knocks my shoulder back a few inches and makes my foot raise up..lol..

that is a sexy rifle. I saw a gun once at a gun show that looked like that sorta but the woodgrain on it looked like an oil spill on asphalt, almost bought it just to have haha. also saw a little pistol. 9mm i think, that have like a leather holster, but it was the size of half my palm. it folded out of the case like a switchblade. it was only like 3 inches long, and the "case" acted as the grip for it. wish i could find it again.

Im not as familar with hunting as I would like to be, but that looks like a pretty **** big hole in that deer. I can only imagine what shooting that gun feels like. Ive only got to shoot a couple 12 gauges at some clay pigeons. I love me some venison though //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/yumyum.gif.0556df42231b304b9c995aefd13928a8.gif

get a camera that can take better pictures up close. blurry pictures because your camera can't focus close FTL

oh and....did you really take a battery operated razor to shave the deer into the woods with you?

 

[Captain_Ahab 5,000+ posts]

Its a dam good camera.. For some reason though the close-up pics are blurry with the auto-focus.. Guess i need to actually read the directions and figure out how to manual focus it!

LOL... That is the result of dragging him out on a gravel road behind a four-wheeler.. NORMALLY load them up on the four-wheeler but we had a FULL load with no room for the deer.. So out came the rope!
