New Spot , Tried A Different Gun

[tinkerfive]

Well guys I tried a new spot this year.

I thought that it looked promising even thou there wasn't a shot

that could be made over 150 yards because of the forest and brush

density.

 

The firearm...

1903 Turk action fitted with a Remington 30-06 barrel re chambered to

7.62X39. and a 4X scope.

I have one sub MOA gun so I wasn't overly impressed when I fired this

gun at the range and got just better than 2MOA.

With a max 150 yard shot I thought that this little creation of mine just

might do for the situation.

It wasn't until 1:30 when a pair of doe were sneaking through the cover

out about 110 yards. I could make them out through the brush but no

clear shot presented itself for a good minute. My buddies were calling

me on the radio but I wasn't answering. I was trying to track the deer

through the brush with that 4X scope. I'd see them then loose them.

Then finally one of them finally presented her front half into a clear

hole through the brush. I pulled the trigger and she dropped right there.

It was a very satisfying moment to harvest a deer the first time the gun

that I'd put together was fired at game.

Tink,it is a great feeling when everything comes together,from buying parts for a gun to eating backstrap. Jerry

I'm in the process of building a 7.62x39 myself and although I plan on shooting hand loads in it, the main propose was to be able to use the cheep ammo if need be. Although I'd like to expect more than 2 MOA with hand loads, I could handle that. But the nicest thing is on the spur of the moment I could go pick up some cheep wolf ammo and go have some good cheep fun plinking. It all comes together when you take a gun that you built hunting, and you harvest game with it.
