Red Rabbit Report post Posted August 24, 2008 What Ol' Betsy will you be carrying this fall on your coues hunt?

Red Rabbit Report post Posted August 24, 2008 Just regular Leupold Dual Dovetail rings and bases that I had in the drawer. I had a set of the Signature rings Cerakoted along with the rifle, but they were too high. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GameHauler Report post Posted August 24, 2008 I know most of you have seen the fruits of my summer labor except for the unethical one (yep Lark, right there in the middle) I believe they are done except for load development. We will see how the Model 7 does without the barrel pressure point. Bottom and foremost is my pride and joy right now. I have full intentions of taking my cousie with her. If Jodi can take the most BEAUTIFUL 117" spot and stalk to 45yds, I should be able to stalk into 200yds TC Contender, 7-30 Waters w/ Burris 3x12-36 and GeorgiaJim grips and forend. Middle and latest to come together. Remington model 7 youth, chambered in Rem7MM-08, sporting a new, My old Nikon Buckmaster 4.5X14-42 This gun has taken more 300 yd critters than Lark can count on one hand (He cut his thumb off trying to cut a chickens head of with a cleaver ) Top is my Remington 700BDL shining with a brand new Ziess Conquest 4.5X14-50 with turrets and Z-Plex rectical and new Boyds laminate stock FirstGirl is trying to talk me out of it for the season but me thinks not. She may have a chance at it when my Cousie is down and I can CARRY it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hooked_on_Coues Report post Posted August 25, 2008 Doug, You obviously don't fall down as much as I. You are a brave man to take that purty a rifle into coues country.

ruffcountry Report post Posted August 25, 2008 I'm currently in the process of putting her together for Nov. 7 36C . It 's my new mod 700 adl chambered for 7 rem mag . I haven't shot it yet but I can tell it needs a litte work on the trigger . I've been asked to field test a Yukon 4x12x40 scope. I put that scope on today and stripped the head on one the ring screws that came with it . It was pretty tight when it stripped so I will proceed with test but that was strike one . I know , I know , it's a low dollar scope , but I'm trying to save $$$ for a new pair of zeiss bino's and I get to test the scope for free . I'll get some pics soon and I'll post first results from the range . Thinking I might call her Ugly Betty . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
