    Tipping one over...

    Neck shot at 350 yards. She never flinched, literally “tipping one over”.



    I was very pleased with the new (for me) Sako A7 in 7-08. And extra pleased with the 120 grn NBT.

    The ridge that I shot it from is over Brian’s shoulder.




    Stuffing her into our packs for the ride home.


    That night, Brian got his chance and bowled the second one for the day. A nice yearling. 400 yards across a shitty gully which was quite a treck for the retrieval.





    As an aside. When we got back to camp from shooting my deer with the new rifle, I offered Brian a cup of instant caramel late that I had brought with me. He turned it down, saying “ hell no, if I drink that I will probably get this urgent urge to rush into town and buy a Tika 7-08”.

    Absolutely brilliant
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    2 things.
    1) Yeah, they seem ok. Make a hell of a hole.
    2) That’s Brian’s story to tell.

    Great to see Brian finally crack a smile in the 2nd last photo
    Kudos goes to him for standing by his stance on 7mm-08 and caramel lattes. The guy is a rock

    I thought there was only one side to the story.
    When I turned in I put my hearing aids beside my bunk and a rat took them during the night.
    Bloody things are 2500 each glad they're insured.
    Never had anything like that happen before.
