Nice!! I had a Ruger No.1 Swift with knockout wood on it that shot really well. I gave it to my son and built a pair of 1-8 twist rifle on short M70 actions. One has a Mike Rock barrel and the other a Brux. Both are well under MOA rifles that work well on deer, antelope and varmints. I love them!!
Got the boys out again tonight. My 10yr old behind my 7saum…180 Hybrid….200yds

Shot this one from the pole barn this morning, been watching it all spring. Only about a 150 yard shot. Swift with a 55 grain Sierra Gameking. The family friendly side of it is showing LOL

First time thermal hunting at our family ranch. I still have a lot of learning to do and look forward to getting out again. I'm still working on getting my 6 ARC up and running, so I tossed my iRay Rico 640 on my 18" Terminus Zeus 6 Creedmoor shooting Prime 107 SMK ammo.
The first night out, we had coyotes respond to vocals but they never showed their faces. My brother and I settled for a jack rabbit a piece!
2nd night out, I went to a flat around 2 am and got set up. I decided to try some mouse squeaks and that turned out to be the ticket! I spotted a fox coming quite a ways out. He dropped out of sight for a minute or so and after panning back and forth, I caught another fox sneaking in to 40 yards. One shot later, he was down. After another minute or two, I looked out and saw the original fox hanging out at 150 yards. The 6 Creedmoor put him down easily as well. I couldn't locate the 2nd fox in the brush in the dark, but was able to find him later in the morning. I'm definitely hooked!
