Finally
« on: January 09, 2015, 12:25:32 AM »
After searching for what seemed like forever I found a mint, never fired Ruger M77 Mark II chambered in .257 Roberts that was within my budget. For some reason I just wanted an uncommon deer caliber.

Anyone kill deer with one?

Time to save my pennies and find a .17 Fireball next.

That is a super caliber. I have been shooting one for about 7 years now. I started with a custom shop barrel for my Encore, and then last year I bought a special run Browning A-Bolt from Grice's.

I shoot a 100gr. bullet when deer hunting, and a 75gr. for varmints. It works well on both! and comfortable to shoot...

I just picked up some Hornady 100 grain spire points. Going to give them a shot once my dies get here next week. I'm chomping at the bit to shoot this thing. Gander had one box for $55.
