Underdog Posted March 15, 2015 Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 Is that with them proper bullets yet? Or are you still using that varmint round U. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shootgun Posted March 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 Thanks for the kind comments gents, i have to admit everything worked very well and my persistence paid off... The new rifle is awesome, i had 13 fallow for 13 shots in the last 3 weekends, only one runner found dead 100yds +... The investment in the V8 paid off as well as it gave me the edge at 1st and last light. First kills with with the boar barrel as well...

shootgun Posted March 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 So sir, how far were these shots and how did the thumper slugs do? U. About 60-70 yards, didn't had to worry about bullet drop 1st one boiler room shot, dropped on the spot, second one neck shot as it was close to the boundary and didn't want to risk a runner... the 231gr Oryx left a nasty wound channel in the neck though, but the game dealer was happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! Well done on the shooting and good man for your fine comments about the .270. I have one myself and think it is a great rifle. I have shot a few Sika and fallow and it certainly does the job.
