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”. :thumbsup:

Ha ha ha well done guys.

Absolutely brilliant

So Tahr, now we both have these 120's doing close to 3k from the little 7/08 are they the go to bullet? And you missed out the bit about the rat and hearing aids;)

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

that rifle of brains looks like a weapon and a half. whats the details on that

awesome mate, you've inspired me to get out again as soon as my next days off come around

Nice work Tahr :cool:

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

nice photos tahr , it's always good to hear the other side of the story.

We'll done Tahr.....never too late to join the 'Latte 7-08 club'.......

Mitch made it. Rem action, alloy chassis. 30.06
Accurate as. A beast.

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.
