But can you hit with precision, from field positions, with a bullet that will fly flat enough to hit, hit hard enough to kill quickly, and penetrate deep enough to break heavy bone and exit?
Nice collection of dead stuff, they look delicious!I would be remiss not to answer and the answer is yes, as can nearly anyone in the family. No ranch hunts, petting zoos or vacation home blinds for us. We practice, we kill quickly, we clean, we process, we eat.
My apologies for the graphic shots depicting what bullets do to flesh and bone.

I'm a one gun (hunting centerfire.270) guy. You're right, it is boring to be that good all the time..Read Oconnnor and Carmichael as a kid.
Buddy had a BDL in .270.
Didnt wow me.
Nothing wrong with a one gun do it all.
Sounds kinda boring to me.
Again, skip the .270 and gimme a .25-06 and a 7 mag
My math tells me that a .25-06 and a 7 mag are two guns.Read Oconnnor and Carmichael as a kid.

I started deer hunting with an 8x57 K98 that had a 1.5 x Weaver on it and a bent bolt. Never saw a one. It was a long time ago and deer here were scarce.I only hunt with one rifle........at a time
If one wants a recoil pad on a non pad 700....just buy a magnum stock.
The pad is fitted and says "Remington" on it.
And is black.
The pads work well too.
Pick up one w some character and you can hunt it without worry, save your orig.
