I had a chance to hunt Axis this weekend on a ranch near Stockdale, TX that had not been hunted for 15 years. The axis had been left alone on this 1500 acre high fence for all these years. The owner has decided that he wants to introduce some new genetics so he wanted the old bucks taken out. You’ll notice on the revolver buck that he doesn’t have the typical fronts/brow tines anymore. His horns were decreasing with age. I shot him with the 41GNR with a 170 grain hollow point at about 1650fps from about 50 yards. I hit a rib going in and the bullet was on the other side under the hide. The other buck was at 244 yards with a Blaser R8 in 280 Remington. Both were dead within about 50 yards    |

Monster deer! Gotta love a Blaser…. I have 3 receivers and 6 barrels. They are all utterly reliable to put a bullet where the crosshair is from a cold barrel. Can’t ask for more. And incredible triggers… |

Something the Euro rifle builders have figured out. My Merkel K3 shoots same point of impact whether the first shot or 10th, barrel gets too hot to grad ahold of but bullets fly true.
