Long range, handy bolt`lil truck gun!!!

[SJB358]

Don`t hunt from a truck hardly at all, but a 35.5" long rifle, is wonderful to stalk with and to carry on hunts.

I get that, yesterday I hunted for the first time with my 45-70 Guide Gun and man, what a pleasure it was to carry it. Worked great from a tree stand or just carrying. A lot to be said for a handy rifle that packs alot of power. My 358 Win BLR is much the same. Scotty

I was right then, the 7mm mags won't get it there. My 260 comment was referring to DF's comment. . Which Ballistic Calculator are you using? my favorite is "Big Game Info" , pretty simple to input, and my rifles match the outputs. I know what you mean about noise and muzzle blast, I have a 350 rem with the 18" barrel and in addition to the above it kicks like a mule. The only rifle I have which has cut me more than once.!!! :grin:

.....................The Hornady "external" ballistics calculator on the Hornady site.

......................Walked into elk camp last year with that liitle carbine. The first impressions from a few were comical.

Little did they know, that it had the same power as a 24" to 26" tubed 30-06 AI.................. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Plus, I am sure you enjoyed the weight savings of the little rifle. Scotty

I have tried the Hornady ballistic calculatior but by the time I got all of the inputs finished, my beer mug was empty so I had to go to the fridge, then on the way I had to stop in the boys room, then when I got back to the computer it had gone to sleerp, by the time it woke up I had forgotten which rifle I was running the data on!!!!! Hope you are all having a great weekend. I have 10 more days until my next elk hunt I am not quite ready yet.
