Does anyone else find it ironic that the Hunt Manager/Director of Hunting for the ranch, Lee Murphy, is also a guide for Exclusive Pursuit Outfitters?

I just checked out the Vortex website...looks like they have a new scope called Razor HD LH. Simple design, capped turrets, no parallax adjustment, and extreme light weight. They offer a 2-10, and 3-15 weighing in at 15.4 and 16.5 respectively. I would go for the 2-10 for engagements inside 600 yards. I assume its second focal plane so you will need to be on max magnification for the BDC to work. The cool thing is the BDC is actually MOA hash marks with 2 MOA spacing. Zero the rifle at 200 yards, then make a drop chart out to 600 and use 10X for anything past 200.

I wanna see the shark mouth paint job!

I have to agree...It made me laugh to hear the level of excitement. That's what its all about right there! Awesome Job fellas.

You're right, the first shot did him in. Once we got over to him we realized the downward angle of the first two shots put the exit wounds through the top of the lungs. Obviously the third shot was not needed, but the adrenaline was pumping. It all happened so fast and we had a small window to shoot through. A few steps one way or the other, and we would have lost sight of him. I didn't really feel like tracking a wounded bull, so I had Steve shoot until the bull went down.

Have him shoot his rifle at the distance he ranged the deer and took the shot. Just to confirm. I missed an elk at 200 yards. The weekend before the hunt I was shooting steel at 1,000 yards and forgot to turn my turret back down. The elk hunched up and looked hit, but then took off. I went to where he was standing, but no blood. I was super bummed thinking I had just hit a bull that I couldn't recover. Later that day I realized my problem when I shot at 200 yards. Turns out I shot over him. I was relieved, and pissed.

Looks like you found yourself a great spot. With all those bucks in there and nearly 100% draw odds you can hunt that area for a lot of years to come and still pull out some nice deer. You wont have any other hunters to compete with that's for sure. Congrats, great job!

.5 moa? What more do you want? Is it a hunting rifle or a bench rest rifle? I'd just stick with the bergers and shoot it man.

Lee hand primer. Only thing bad about the Lee is you have to use their proprietary she'll holders. Other than that, it is very consistent.

This stock looks pretty sweet. This is the one I was thinking about.

Tough to say in velvet, but I'd call him a 90" buck. Ether way I'd put an arrow in him.

Sorry man, X mark pro trigger will not work. You need the components from a 40X trigger. Thought I had one, but could not find it. Good luck.

I have a couple X mark pro triggers lying around, and maybe a 40X. Not sure if any of the components will match up. I'll take a look when I get home and if it looks like it will work (based on the photo you provided) I will PM you.

what kind of trigger is it?

+1 for Applied Ballistics app.

What do you guys need all that extra ammo for?...............lol, jk.

Check out Manners EH series. http://mannersstocks.com/hunting-stocks/ These have interested me for a while because they are such lightweight, and offer a variety of designs. I will probably use one of these on my next build.

Cerekote is a good durable finish. I would only do the bolt body though. Tape off the lugs (and bolt face of course). I had mine done with cerekote H series, lugs included, and the added material made the tolerance between the bolt and the action way too tight. It was not smooth. I ended up sand blasting it off.
