I just had time to site in my Accura. (Around 7 Shots) Finally seen a small 6 pt buck. It was about a 160 yd shot (distance had been ranged before) and I hit him right where I was aiming.(Vari X1 3-9x40 Scope) It was a double lung shot. I placed the x right on my aiming point. No bullet drop. Shot off the top of a log. Very solid rest. I was using Barnes Spitfire T EZ 290 grain bullet with BH209 120 grain powder. I changed to the Federal 209A primers. It was the first deer I seen and shot at all hunting season.

This is my first deer in over 15 years. I had given up hunting to coach. Sure feels good to be back out with nature.

Thanks for all the great post. I would have never made this shot with this gun & setup without this site.

THANKS AGAIN!

awesome shot! It just seems like last week you got the rifle LOL. Feels good dont it?

Congrats! Hope I have the same luck this next week.

Awesome job! Congrats! That's a very stout load too. The very same load I use except I shoot the 250g T-EZ. You can knock over anything with that load.

Congratulations on the buck. Nice shooting there.

Congrat's on your Hunt with your new ACCURA, that was a long poke! Feels good to be back after all them years dont it!

sounds like your back.
congrats on the Gun and the Buck.

Congrats!!

Sounds like another finicky Accura. Great choice of rifle, IMHO.

Congrats on your buck. 160 yards is a pretty good poke, well done.

Gratz to you.
