Montana 2006 Success

[TMR]

It weighs 13.5lbs ready to go with bipod. I usually carry it in my Eberlestock pack, so it is not to bad. I wanted to be able to watch the bullet hit through the scope, and usually you can. It just torque's a little, buy you can still see the animal or target after the shot. I was going to put a brake on it, but it is really not needed. I am going to build another one that is lighter that might have a brake, just have not decided yet.

TMR, nice hunt.

Where did the bergers hit the animals???

All of the shots were high shoulder except for the first that drifted to just in front of the shoulder.

Jimm,
It was a blast [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] I couldn't be happier with the 243AI.....If I had to do it again, I would probably build it the same way. I will probably end up using my 7mmAM for elk (when it is finished), and the 243AI for everything else. It was great having Dad along. I try to take him somewhere each year to do some hunting. We usually just end up in Montana. Since he built the rifle, I am sure he was very pleased to see the results. He is becoming hooked on this long range stuff also.

TMR,

Congrats on your hunt. Great to hunt with your Dad.
Hope you both have many more hunts in the future.
