[QUOTE="RH300UM, post: 656081, member: 12469"] I just got home from Alaska and a costal black bear hunt on Prince of Wales island. I got my bear on the first day of the hunt. One shot at 475 yards with the THOR put this bruin down for good. gun) [ATTACH]9642.vB[/ATTACH] The next day hunter2 in my group shoots his bear with his rifle. Problems is the shot hit a branch and the bullet hits the bear in the front leg at the wrist/ankle area. I follow up with a shot to the front shoulder at 250 yards with the THOR. Bear number 2 down. gun) [ATTACH]9643.vB[/ATTACH] Day 3 hunter 3 in my group sees what the THOR can do and wants to use the rifle now to shoot his bear with. 275 yards and 2 shots (1st shot missed, nerves) and bear number 3 is down. gun) [ATTACH]9644.vB[/ATTACH] Skip to day number 5 and hunter 4 in my group. After seeing what this rifle and bullet combo can do he definatly wants to use the THOR to shoot his bear. 260 yard shot and bear number 4 is down. gun) [ATTACH]9645.vB[/ATTACH] Four bears down in five days with the same rifle. Outstading to say the least!!! For those that are interested the 180 SMK does major damage at the velocity (3236 fps) I am using. Travis you build one hellavua great rifle!!! There are 3 new converts to long range hunting now! [/QUOTE]
