Firearm of choice for deer season?

[JTW]

Thanks @JTW I was looking up custom stocks on Boyd’s and it was asking what action. Will definitely be new deer thumper next season.

Yeah.. I like the idea but would have to look at the ballistics. I’d say it would be a bad ass 100 yard deer thumper.

Well today I pulled the trigger on a new gun purchase and layed it away today. ended up getting a browning x bolt stainless stalker carbon fiber in 300wm couldn’t pass up the great deal on such a beautiful gun.

Anybody else own an x bolt? Or a browning bolt rifle in general this will be my first I’m a Remington/ ruger man. What’s the thoughts on them?

I can’t help on your second question... but I like it!

For what I paid for it I couldn’t pass it up wasn’t planning on another 300 wm especially with a 26” barrel really wanted something compact but couldn’t find what I was wanting but went into the local pawn shop that I usually deal with and there it was lol not a scratch or ding anywhere on it also comes with original box and a nice Nikon pro staff scope.

How many doll hairs?

723 after tax. Didn’t think it was a bad deal for a nearly new rifle with a decent scope that retails well over 1300 new

 

[Lilred500]

All of the ones I’ve found on gunbroker and places like so are anywhere from 1300-1700 so I’d say I didn’t do bad lol I wanted a ruger compact in a bad way just couldn’t find what I was wanting at a decent price but my eyes are still looking out for one lol.

Yeah, you did great.

 

[Lilred500]

Thanks, I didn’t think it was to bad of a deal defiantly didn’t wanna pass it up they just put it on display yesterday so figured I’d better put a down payment on it. Gonna see how it does with the Nikon if it’s not to bad I’ll leave it other wise I’m gonna spend a little money on good glass as I’m gonna make this my long range rifle. Now I really want a trip to elk country lol.

What are you calling long range?

600-1000 don’t believe this scope will cut it though.

600-1000 don’t believe this scope will cut it though.

Nope...

 

[Lilred500]

Nope...

I’m looking at options just not sure I haven’t shot out that far before. 500 has always been my max and that was pushing it.

The X-bolt is one hell of a rifle, I have an A-bolt and looking at buying a X-bolt hells canyon edition. But my priorities right now are all on operation P1K5D build.

What power is it?

 

[Lilred500]

What power is it?

It’s not much bigger than a 3x9-40 but I can’t remember for sure I was to much in awe at how beautiful the rifle was. My first thought was changing it anyways and getting a silver scope to match the gun.

 

[Lilred500]

I won’t know what it is until I make the final payment. Witch won’t be long ready to have it home and put some lead down range lol.

My coyote rifle is equipped with a 6.5-20x44 on it and I shoot out to 600 target shooting quite a bit. I normally have it dialed up to 16 at that range. The key is to get used to not using all of your available power. Also, if you upgrade scopes, look for a 30mm tube vs a 1”, they are better imo.
