STOMP442 Report post Posted December 15, 2010 Thanks for the replies guys they are much appreciated. Now for more info about my rifle. Savage model 110 originally chambered in .270 was re barreled to a Adams & Bennett 24" barrel in .250. The Action is bedded and the barrel free floated. Trent lightened the trigger down for me to about 2 pounds and is real crisp. Trent made me some custom brass out of some .308 lake city match cases and the rest is history. This thing is honestly the most accurate gun I own. Load Data: 32.2 grains IMR 4064 115 grain Berger VLD Lake City Match cases CCI large rifle primers 5 shot average Velocity of 2,816 fps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cohntr6 Report post Posted January 8, 2011 Brandon showed me pictures a while ago but this the first I have seen of the post! Congrats! I'll have to show you and Trent the .250 Savage I had built for my daughter. I had her shoot a bit high on a smoker buck during her youth hunt in October. I am still shaking my head a that bad call! Thanks for the post. Jeff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

biglakejake Report post Posted April 6, 2011 Great buck and an awesome shot. I have had several 250/3000's over the years-none now sob-and my favorite was stolen while still down in the valley. A ruger m77RSI that i had inletted for a lyman aperture sight. I missed a javalina with it once...that was the only thing it missed. congrats lee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BikerRN Report post Posted April 23, 2011 I enjoyed reading your story. You made me feel like I was overworked and behind in gathering my gear. I too wondered why your buck was still upright. I felt my pulse quicken and my breath start to go rapid and shallow as I read the ending. GREAT JOB! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gr8 White Jr Report post Posted April 23, 2011 Great story and great buck! Somehow I must have missed this when first posted because I surely would have remembered it. I love stories like this that make me feel like I'm right there along side of you as it all goes down. Great write up and congrats on an outstanding buck! -Tracy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
