Got invited to my buddies new lease this past weekend and had an opportunity to fill a tag for a coworker needing some deer meat. I had my grandpa's 30-06 but wasn't comfortable shooting it much past 200yds since I didn't have much trigger time on the rifle since getting it after he passed in February. My buddy offered his rifle for the shot since it was past my comfort with the 30-06 and it did not disappoint.

Deer finally gave us a good shot at 318yds across the cow pasture. He was quartered to us a little but I squeezed the shot off, heard the bullet connect and he made it 60-70yds before piling up. Don't have a bullet to show since it trucked on through but the heart and lungs were well blended. Luckily he's got plenty more loaded for next year. The buck is no giant but when your buddy says, you want to shoot that one and use my new rifle? Hard to pass up that opportunity.
