I use 168gr amax to deer hunt with my 308 as well. I have shot 13 deer from 175 yards to 500 yards with them. Neck, shoulder, spine, head it all ended the same. Massive internal trauma and bleeding.
I have two karstens on different rifles and love them. They do the job they are supposed to do. I put both of mine in boiling water to soften up then molded them to the stocks. A custom fit in 3 minutes
I have a 4-16 pst vortex on my hunting rifle. out to 600 yards or so it is the ticket. But on a deer that is around brush or a tree line I want more magnification. In ga I only have 530 yards max so its perfect. But when I go to MO I have another rifle with a nightforce 5.5-22 on it. Having that...
I am one of the lucky ones in north ga to have a piece of property with a large field on it. I can shoot 642 yards from end to end. Been waiting 2 years for a 500 plus yard shot on a deer. I have killed them from 15 yards to 321 yards on this field but thats it.
And then sunday it happened...
