Experts at MSNBC say 556 is the most devastating round ever invented.

I've been researching all the same rifles and was kind of set on the Waypoint until actually handling it (and all the others listed) at my local gun store. So now I'm not sure what I'll do. Maybe just buy a T3X and a stock. Put the money I save into the scope. Anyway I wouldn't buy any of...

If you're going to use the spotting scope (instead of big binos) to locate then I would get the better one (88).

Agreed. The "we didn't know it was illegal" is b.s. as well. Every country in the world has laws and regulations on the taking of animals. You don't get a pass just because you can't be bothered with asking around.

Please correct me if I'm wrong here? They crossed the border illegally. They didn't bother to learn our laws. They broke our hunting regulations and motor vehicle laws. They killed a symbol of our country second only to the starts and stripes. (Which not that long ago was on the endangered list)...

17 is impressive. How do you do it?

I'm actually trying to talk myself into switching from 7mm to 6.5 CM. Yet, I can't get past that fact I'm not a perfect shot and the perfect broadside shot doesn't always present itself in the field. That said, I'm keeping an open mind.

Nice Elk! I don't know if 6.5CM loads can be loaded that hot? The Hornadys ELD-M load is only 2,700. 143 gn. So the first shot was in the lungs and he didn't go down. Went 50 yards(?) and stopped so you were able to take shots 2 and 3?

2022-2019=6? You did notice that I said "Arise" didn't you? Not sure why there is the need to be outraged and disagreeable but ok I guess that's the world we live in these days. :) Anyway it's not like I was trying to answer a question that was asked years ago, but instead asking for...

Arise. Who has a shot a large Bull 500+ yards with less than ideal shot placement and what were the results?

24 if you move around and actually hunt. On foot. Or in the trees. Or Take quick shots.

As I mentioned before I'm replacing a 220 swift and I'm looking for a bolt gun 10-11 lbs with scope. :D

Unfortunately, they don't come in .243. They are a great looking rifle.

The 6.5 Creedmore is intriguing, but I have a feeling that in 10-20 years it's going to be no different and maybe worse than my 220 Swift and 7 STW that have very few ammo options which never seem to be in stock. Time will tell and that's a discussion for a different thread. I'm surprised...

How does the matte finish hold up on the Predator Max? All of my older blued rifles have spots where the finish has rubbed through.
