So, to wrap up a great Saturday hunting and shooting trip, My wife busted a jack rabbt today with my 22 marlin model 20 squirrel beater running at proabably 40 yards. I was happier than ever.
the weather turne south on us, so we headed back to the truck just in time for the weather to break. I pulle out her .243 and shot sent a couple rounds down range at 100 yards at a giant cow pie ball. watching that bullet rip and explode through that chun of crap was hilarious (I'm still growing up sorry). Then as was suggested by some, i pulled out my model 1917 eddystone 30-06 and had her send some winchester 180gr xp3's. I thought that she really wouldn't be able to handel it, but with a good wussy pad, she shot it like a champ.
So, Long winded thread short, we are going with the winchester xp3 95gr 243 and the same 180gr xp3's for the 30-06. The only draw back is that I have to carry the gun because in her own words " If you want me to hunt, you have to carry my gun! It's too darn heavy!"
thanks for the advice.
It was a big bodied 2 point.
