Default Best buck ever

Shot this guy after coming up on a group of deer in a cut cornfield last Friday. Shot was 60 yds off hand with a Tikka T3 25-06. He went 75 yds...not a drop of blood other than what came out of his mouth. Thank god for my surefire and me seeing where he went. This is the 4th deer this year of this size I've seen on this property...I managed a miss at a deer very similar to this guy on December 2nd. This guy was 18". I'm guessing between 120-130. Not bad for a late season deer.

I shoot handloaded Hornady 117 gr with 50 grains of Hogdon 4831 (I believe). I love the rifle. I have to get more accustomed to it, but it's an awesome gun. This gun will shoot a 1/2" group at 100 yds using Federal factory ammo. I bought the gun with a Bushnell 4-12x40 on it for $450 at Gander. Of course I found it right after I left Gander for another job. I'm going to do the tub bore polishing system to it after the season closes.
