I guess something it really liked haha. Got attacked by a beaver when I was a kid, didn't stick around to what those big teeth and claws would do to a kids legs 😉

I had to shoot a Marten with mine when I was up in a tree stand hunting moose. The little bugger kept trying to get on the back of my neck so after a few minutes of swatting at him with the barrel of the gun I had enough and when his nose touched the muzzle I pulled the trigger. He disappeared...

That's good to know, I was wondering how that would work when it snows.

Not sure if it's different in the US but in BC here I just had to pay shipping and they sent the hardware to me without any other charges. I'm just paying for the monthly service. We have the standard Residential 100 Mbps plan.

I just set it up today so we will see, so far it's noticeably faster. Our internet provider (Telus) sucked in every way and I'm glad to be getting away from them finally. Going to be cheaper too.

Very good speed and accuracy, the 140 gr Ballistic Tip is great for deer.

Beautiful rifles. I've used the 225 gr TSX on moose with good results but like the 200 gr TTSX better. You get similar penetration but faster speed and I think they open up a bit better.

Awesome, thanks.

Here is one of these rifles in action, sounds like a good one.

Where did you end up?

At 56 gr it grouped fairly well, a bit under MOA if I remember right. IMR 8208 been a standout with 200's though. I'm going to try CFE 223 with 225's this year too to see how it does.

I topped out at 56 gr I believe for about 2650 fps, I'm going to revisit that load here shortly since Sierra goes higher than that.

Tough news and a hard thread to read, thanks for letting us know. I pray for peace for you and your family and also the others on here who have lost children far to early.

Looks like a couple of good spring bear loads there!
