Good placement, and that's a caliber we don't see used much any more.

It's not the flattest shooting round out there, that's for sure, but she puts 3 rounds in 2.5" at 200 yards so I have no hesitation taking a shot like this. The Nightforce 1-4 is a perfect combo for this too!

Nice- I will be building a driven hunt rifle around the same round and style as yours,

good to see that the 358 gets some kills on the ground.

btw- a good kill that one.

This gun is the perfect drive gun. With the 1-4 NSX on 1x it is almost faster than iron sights!

This one is nothing compared to the one that that the neighbor shot. This one was beat up and we figured the 17 pointer that he shot was the one doing it. I have a picture of it on my phone. I'll try to get it posted.
