I went yesterday evening after fighting kidney stones since Friday. I had some does come out that I wanted to shoot with my old 44 Flat Top.Couldn't get them into my comfort zone. a little after 4:00 p.m. I had this buck come out into the field but headed for a no shoot zone. I had to do some juggling to get in position for a shot. I have a trifecta rest in that blind on a tripod. I got the .260 on it and pointed the right way. He was behind a tree and I had to wait for him to clear it. He came out giving me a quartering away shot. I rnaged him at 252 yards. I picked out a spot that would lie up with the aorta and squeezed the trigger. He dropped at the shot and never wiggled. I love the .260. The 140 grain Nosler Partition did its job perfectly as usual.  |

Great buck and shot. Having to wait on a good shot on a big deer like that can get your heart rate up. You showed great concentration.

I have my son’s Encore and 260 barrel. I put my 204 barrel on it for rock chucks. He had killed several deer with it before I got it.

Back when I hunted with single shots I had a Bullberry 260 Encore & it was like a bloodhound in a butcher shop. I mostly used 100 gr Barnes X bullets & it was just flat out fast & lethal on deer & antelope. That's a dandy buck you got there & a great shot as well, congratulations!

The gun makes me look good. Incredible shooter. I love that 260. I have killed a bunch of deer with it and it is as you just described it. |
