[QUOTE="Brown Dog, post: 58457, member: 1622"] This rather pales in comparison to 1894's awesome Alpine post, nevertheless, a few photos from my pre-Christmas hind culling trip in Scotland (please excuse the face blanking…I’m shy!). A foul day, rain and wind gusting upto 60mph; my hunting partner having just pulled off one of the best shots I have seen. I had shot a hind at 210m, with about quarter wind. Its calf ran in a great loop to put itself full wind at around 250m. Instinctive timing and hold off for wind delivered a one-shot drop. Rifle is one put together by Precision Rifle Services of Scotland and kindly loaned for the trip. 300WSM, Swarovski 8x50, Talley mounts, Nesika made action (branded as PRS) McMillan stock and (I believe) Krieger barrel. Great little rifle! [url="http://www.hunt101.com/?p=235762&c=504&z=1"][img]http://www.hunt101.com/img/235762.jpg[/img][/url] Another view of the rifle..
