[QUOTE="memtb, post: 1521449, member: 75451"] Same rifle I’ve used for almost 30 years. At an ounce or 2 over 9 pounds (fully loaded, scoped, and slung), it’s getting heavier for a “sheep type” hunt.....but, I ain’t planning on changing. Semi-custom, Win. Model 70, light contour Douglas Match Grade SS barrel,chambered in .375 AI, barrel mounted front sling swivel, express sights, McMillan stock, Pachmayr Decelerator, Leupold 3.5-10 in Leupold QD bases/rings and a Leupold 2.5-8, zero’d and on standby. I had it built in ‘89, it is and hopefully forever will be....my “only” hunting rifle! Presently running, 250 grain, TTSX’s @ 3130 fps muzzle velocity. My last kill, a Pronghorn @430 yards, good placement. I think an elk @ 500, should be pretty easy! If need be....I can stretch it’s range to 600+, pretty easily, with good shooting conditions! memtb [/QUOTE]
