Would have posted this sooner but we've been busy doing things. Opening morning we found this buck on my Dad's property, we put three stalks on this guy until we were able to get a good shot on him. My Daughter has been using for the last four years a M700 Classic in .300 Savage with an older gloss Burris Fullfield 3-9X40 duplex reticle zeroed at 300 yards, and her load was manufactured by Double Tap using 125 grain Nosler BT at 3000 fps.
Details of the shot are 350 yards from kneeling position rested on shooting shooting sticks. The hit was a little back but still managed to take both lungs with a very short death dash, leaving about a half dollar sized exit wound with a huge amount of blood and lung left behind. My Daughter has extreme confidence in this rifle and load, and is racking up quite a few one shot kills on game with it, unlike her old man who changes rifles and loads on a regular basis she has no desires to try anything different.
Anyway, just thought I'd share the success my Daughter is having.

Yes it did! She has me thinking of the way I do things. She has such extreme confidence in that rifle and load that she's put together an impressive string of one shot kills on game over the last few years. She's killed 10 Oklahoma whitetail and 2 Colorado pronghorn with it in the last four seasons, and she still has Oklahoma season starting the 18th. I'm even thinking of just using one rifle for hunting, probably won't happen but at least I'm thinking.
