T/C Guns

THIS WEEK I GOT A VINTAGE 14" SSK CONTENDER BARREL IN 250 SAVAGE THAT I PICKED OFF GB FROM, AS IT TURNED OUT, A GOOD GUY I KNOW IN MY HOMETOWN. HERE IS A PICTURE:

THE BARREL CAME WITH THE PICTURED WEAVER MOUNT sans RINGS. THE GRIP, FOREND AND G2 FRAME ARE THE ONES I USE WITH MY 14" SSK 6.5JDJ BARREL. THE RINGS ARE VINTAGE SSK SPLIT RINGS AND THE SCOPE IS A 2.5x7 SIMMONS. FORTUNEATELY I HAD 3 BOXES OF CUSTOM 87gr AMMO ON HAND.

GOING TO MY RANGE ON THE RIO GRANDE IN THE MORNING. USING ESTIMATED MV OF 2,650fps I AM GOING TO SIGHT IN DEAD ON @ 25 YARDS, WHICH SHUD PUT ME ABOUT 2 INCHES HIGH @ 100 YARDS AND CLOSE TO DEAD ON @ 200 YARDS.

BASED UPON REVIEWS FOR THE HORNADY BULLET IN THE AMMO, 2,650fps SHUD BE FAST ENUFF FOR VARMINTS AND SLOW ENOUGH FOR DEER AND HOGS. THIS SEASON I PLAN TO TAKE IT ALONG TO DEER BLINDS AS A 2nd SCOPED HANDGUN FOR USE ON COYOTES AND HOPEFULLY A BOBCAT. I HAVE OTHER GUNS "IN LINE" AHEAD OF THIS 250 SAVAGE FOR DEER.

I AM REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS ACQUISITION. HERE'S HOPING IT SHOOTS REAL GOOD WITH THE AMMO!
