Got it done

[Double-D-Team]

My new tack driver 6.5 CM Ruger American w/ 3x9x40 Vortex BDC.Now I can HUNT MY HUNT.

 

[backyardtndeer]

Hope it works well for you. My 6.5 that I hunted with for a few years really liked my handloaded 143 gr eldx, and they worked very well on deer.

 

[Double-D-Team]

I really think it will. That is the ammo I choose Hornady 143 ELDX. This will be my go to deer rifle for this up coming season.

I've got a .223 in the gen 2 Ruger. Had to swap mag wells out but other than that it's a tack driver and I'm pleased with it for the price.
I'm working on a 77gr TMK load for it and it even shoots that heavy bullet great.

 

[Double-D-Team]

I like the gen 2 Ruger. To me light weight and SHOOT great.

SWEET gun!

Forgot to mention another thing I like about it is changing the LOP. I removed all spacers and it's the perfect length for my 11yr daughter.

At my age, light weight flat shooting and a comfortable feeling gun to me. Very low recoil.

Yeah, I love low recoil. I took my old .243 and worked it up last year. It killed two mule deer and a pronghorn last year. So much more pleasurable to hunt and shoot. I put a suppressor on the .223 and it is flat out fun to shoot. No matter anyone's age, I'm a firm believer in low recoil now. I just shoot better.

I got the 6.5 for the same reasons. Didn't get to go out west this past season but hope too this season. Love the desert goat hunts.

One of the many reasons a .243 will always be one of my favorites.

I'm older than you brother ...

In that case, I'm a wimp. my 270 short mag was kicking my butt. I need to put a muzzle break on it.

Try shooting my Marlin 45- 70 ...it don't even have a cushioned butt plate .

I use a 300 short mag for elk hunting. That's enough for me. I did shoot a 8mm the other day not a fan.

That's what I hunt with in rifle season, a guide gun. It works, they don't get up and no tracking involved.
