Sweeeet, congratulations!

Got the supressor for his rifle finally, and made it even better. Still works great, he dropped this big cow with one shot at 690 using the 147 apex!

Congratulations on that. Nice cow elk. It is great to see the younger ones involved.

Don't remember who asked, but my bullet breakdown of the 147 Apex used in this rifle (and a couple others) is now up on the LRO site.

Pretty awesome story. How are you all liking the EPL4?

So far so good, rifle was zeroed prior to our mule deer hunt in September. Haven't touched it all season, and he made a great shot on his cow at 690, can't complain too much considering it traveled 20+ miles in his pack and a bunch more in his truck, especially factoring in the price.

So what happened to the Meopta scope that went through the fall ?. Thks Cheers

It's destroyed. Attempted to contact meopta to see if a repair was possible, sent 3 or 4 emails, with no response. It now sits on a shelf.

Nice work on the build and the elk. Is that the harvester Evo? And if so how do u like it . I've got one in jail along with a omega 300 .

Yes it is. Love the can at this point, we have two of them, both on 20" Sherman max's. Less than 200 rounds on them so can't speak for longevity, however they are light, compact and not bad on the ears.

Cody, contact Doug at camera land that's how I got in contact with them. Meopta was horrible till Doug got involved
