My wife doesn't have much time to hunt with me these days, but on this particular day I was able to coax her out of a warm bed on a Saturday morning to go out into the wind swept prairie, and put the chase on a big, rutted up buck. She wasn't too happy with me at first, but felt a whole lot better about the situation after she put this big boy to rest!

Hope you enjoy!

Very nice whitey ! What bullets do you prefer in the 250 ??? If you don’t mind me asking, I know you can really wind them up !

Dang nice whitey.
Pretty good videoing if she was also shooting off your shoulder!
Well done.

Kool! Congrats to Ashley and her "guide"
That Suppressed 22-250 sounded like a rattlesnake strike!

Man, I'll tell ya, it's like a pellet gun that shoots lighting! Small, but very deadly!

ThankfullyI had a tripod so I was able to frame it up and then get steady! LOL.... I had my brother and dad both use my should in the past without a tripod. Footage a wee bit shaky to say the least! Worst part was my dad gave me no warning he was going to shoot and cut loose with a 300 win mag and about made me go deaf.... smh

At that time it we were using the Federal Premium Nosler Partition in 60 grain.... unfortunately, they discontinued making that sound after the last ammo shortage. Now we're just using 55 grain SP, but am hoping to start having a friend reload for me in the 60 nosier. Awesome little bullet for sure.
