NICE .. .. what rifle were you using and at what range did you shoot

[markiver54]

Well done JZ! Congrats, and thanks for sharing!

[Vaquero]

Congrats. Nice buck.

He said a carbine, just not whether it was a BBB, or a BBS.

the rifle in the picture doesn't appear to be a Henry

[JayZuv]

Thanks fellas! I should've specified, its the Ruger .44 Carbine. He came in to about 30 yards, but I had to shoot right handed although i"m a lefty, based on how i was sitting. Wasn't sure of shot placement so he stopped in a shooting lane at about 85 yards so I hit him again and he dropped right there. Turned out I double lunged him with the first shot, but I don't like to chance a wounded deer with an unsure shot

lol, weren't wearing the glasses and didn't notice the rifle.
Can't til, but doesn't appear to be a lever.
Looks like it could be a Ruger.

Edit: guess we were typing at the same time, lucky guess on me.
Cool that you are able to shoot either handed as not a lot can.
I can shoot fairly well with my off hand, left in my case.
Congrats, the ole 44's sure pack a punch.

nicely done .... letting a Ruger 44 carbine get away from me decades ago still haunts me .... hands down the worst decision to let a firearm go that I ever made ....

Well I've actually never tried it before, but I had to improvise a little given the situation. I shoot a bow right handed though so that may help, maybe a bit of luck too!

[JayZuv]

JEBar, you probably don't want to hear this but It's amazing in the brush! light, short, and powerful. I hope someday you come across one for a fair price! I searched for mine for about two years before I found the right one, and after some tlc it works great

I'd just as soon be lucky as good any day.

I noticed the Weatherby Mark V .300 Wby in your signature .... the 300WBY is one heck of a caliber .... back in 1992 Remington put out a limited run of their 700 bolt action rifles chambered for the 300WBY .... its a tremendous rifle that can take down any critter in this hemisphere at much longer distances than I can see to shoot

[JayZuv]

It is one of my favorites! The Mark V doesn't go into the woods as much as my others as it is incredibly heavy, but It's a great shooter. It's also the reason I started handloading as that cartridge is hard to find and expensive when you do. Yes that was the Sendero they did the Weatherby calibers in right? Never seen one but have heard great things.

understood on the cost of ammo .... we reload as well .... since Starline came out with brass, the cost has come down considerably .... ours, shown below, predates the Sendero .... she's an active hunter that has earned every scratch, ding, and mar .... she has one heck of a bark an bite .... she has been modified to reduce felt recoil and it really helps

[Vaquero]

Ooooh ported.
Love my Nikons

[JayZuv]

Gorgeous! I prefer mine with a bit of wear and tear as well, all of mine have stories to tell. Here is the Weatherby, its a 1970 when they were made in Germany

[JEBar]

beautiful .... the resemblance is striking

[JayZuv]

Nearly Identical! Since the photo I switched out the old redfield scope for a Nikon as well. Other than that it's all original. Not sure how much it was shot previously but I assume a re barrrel will need to happen in the future, but for now its a great shooter.

Nice take, congrats!
That is a nice looking Weatherby too!

[Ozarkwoodswalker]

Just a big zero so far for me....I keep looking at the picture of the buck my son got Saturday to keep me going out ...

Your son got a nice one. You'll get yours. Keep going out.
