Thank you DrMike! Just an FYI,I called in that porker with an electronic call. ;)

Finally... .25/06 loaded with a 100 grain Nosler Ballistic Tip.

It was about 36* and that "pup" was full grown. We estimated her weight to be between 25-30 lbs. The fur was prime IMO,the other side,well,it would have been a bit of sewing if I keep the skins. .25/06,100 grain Nosler Ballistic Tip at around 50-60 yards.

I have heard of javelina coming in to a coyote call. No such luck,as the piggies ignored the calls. But,my son missed a coyote..... I did not! :) My son and I. My daughter and I.

Yup,the lightest rifles I have weigh 8 lbs all ready to go. The two heaviest are 11 lbs,one is my .22/6mm and the other is my .460 Wby. The .22/6mm weighs that much due to a heavier barrel contour and bi-pod on it. It is easy to shoot,but a PITA to carry. A half day is all I can take...

It is heavy and that is not a bad thing IMO. The recoil is not that bad,it is a little more than a .30/06,but not near a .300 Mag.

I would like to hunt in Spain for mouflon and ibex.

A .458 Lott in a 1917 action is a match made in Heaven. Nice 9.3x62 also. :) I'm leaning towards a Richards Microfit stock. It will be awhile before I get it though. :(

Went coyote calling on Saturday. 1st stand. 3rd stand. No coyotes responded to the calls.

That is a nice stock Thebear_78. What is your 1917 chambered for?

Thanks Taylorce1,I will look into those companies. :)

Best I can tell Boyds is the only company making stocks for the 1917. There is at least one person wanting one. ;) FYI,it was made in July 1918.

Truck Driver,Thanks for the pictures and info. :) Guy,I forgot about B&C stocks. I looked at Stocky Stocks and they had two stocks from B&C for the 1917 IIRC. ;)

Truck Driver,I was hoping to use a fiberglass stock. After looking online for a fiberglass stock for a Enfield 1917 it is like finding a virgin in the maternity ward. Boyds makes a wood/laminate stock for it and that is the route I'm going to use. I can get a laminate for around $200 or a wood...

I do too,Preacher.

Thanks Guy. I'm going to replace the stock,this is what the recoil lug is sitting on.

I would use the 160 grain Nosler Partition,but some people say I'm weird. ;)

Frankm,it is a Boyds laminated stock.

Frankm,sorry about your losses. I have a .375 RUM and with a 260 grain Nosler Partition and H-4831 it is getting an average velocity of 2900 fps. That is from a 26" barrel. The high right shot is the first one from a clean barrel. The target was 100 yards away. I used a 300 grain bullet for...

Yup,a short.270 and yes,it does "rile up" Tom. I'm thinking that with a 130 grain bullet the velocity should be in the 2800-2900 fps range.
