Bet the 264 WM makes a mess of a small deer like a Roe?
Is it some kind of walking drone![]()
Well, its taken awhile but have got my 308 all set up for my bush and good mid range rifle now. Still got the 243 as the go to rifle, and will do the main work but for a change and areas where i want stretch the legs on animals my 308 will do the job nicely.
Started life bought Brand new as a Rem 700 SPS 24 inch barrel, fitted with a new Burris ii 3-9-40. I actually liked it, but grouping was average at 1.2 -1.3 groups. Scope performed well, esp in the bush, no complains and its best claim to fame was a eight pointer
Now its had a trigger job, done to a nice crisp 2lb. Stock got changed to a custom H S Precison Rem R5 stock.(fibre glass, carbon kelvar comp) with alum bedding blocks.
Totally free floating barrel, straight away groups went well under 1 MOA . Now fitted with my first Leupold, a new VX3i 3.5-10-40 CDS. Custom dial all set for 165sst and usable with 150sst if i dial down a fraction as POI is pretty much the same apart from a wee height difference.
With the Burris

Not long had the 264 winmag so yet to blood her so to speak!!
Plan to use her on Reds too!!!!
I have a nice load running at 3000fps that should be ideal for Roe , and another load that throttles up to 3300fps.
As for the sticks , once you get used to them , you can use as a double stick for a quick shot ( or offhand ) , or for a longer range shot set the double sticks out!!!
Not a boast , but have shot out to 800yds + standing with them on gongs - they are that steady!!!
There's more chance of me getting tangled up in that, hanging from the sticks whilst trying to take the shot.
On the plus side... Looks a great hammock sling...
Its chambered in one of these three choices![]()
Trust the dog.........................................ALWAYS Trust the dog!!
Let me guess , from left to right: 30-223 AI, 7 mm saum , 9.3/284.
While I might not be as good as I once was, Im as good once as I ever was!
Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
@mikee are you going for the meanest, nastiest bush pig award with that 375Wicked
