Id love to have the 257 Weatherby Mag, but I have an older Savage Model 110 25.06. It doesn't shoot well with heavier bullets, but it is a laser beam with Federal 100 gr BST's and is an absolute Deer Slaying Machine.

Killed goats with both.
Both have 4X wood which ensured a quick kill.
80 gr Barnes @ 4000 from either.

Sounds like a real humdinger! No glamour shots?

Beautiful guns. Years ago I read that a pro baseball player "felt he played better if he looked B*tching" when he played.
When I got out of high school (around 1976), I worked at a gun store. While there I purchased my first deer rifle. It was a Sako 270 with French walnut. When I moved back home to a small farming area, I went deer hunting with a bunch of friends. Everyone was ooing and aahing my gun. When things slowed down mid afternoon, like it does deer hunting, we were sitting around just watching. There was a white rock on the rocky mountain that these guys started shooting at. I just watched. At one point, one of the guys said let's see how well your gun shoots. They were all shooting leftover guns from their fathers (read whatever they can scare up to hunt with). I thought great, now I will somehow get shown up. I took my time and fired. The white rock disappeared. Nothing was said, they just walked away. Then you have a good looking gun, and you know it shoots well, you shoot better in my book.

Way to many to good ones. And way to pretty to take to the woods. Love both and have both.

Feenix, he means a louisville slugger. We had to kill goats in survival training, but all we had was a BFR. I remember thinking, what I would give for a baseball bat with more reach. Less blood on my fatigues.

After you don't take them to the woods and pass away, your kids will sell them and go on vacation.
The Brits totally redo guns every generation because they get hunted.
No safe queens in my place.
Yo Feenix. Have you any experience with the Cayuga's relative to the Badlands in terms of how quickly they pressure up? Just thinking of velocity potential. Thanks
Yeah, I gotta hear the explanation on how the grade of the wood ensures a quick kill. You have my full attention.
Negative! Please see #135 and #16. @codyadams have hands-on experience with the BD2 (possibly Cayuga too) on various calibers.
