Blooded my new Schulz and Larsen in .308 with cull buck Muntjac

After taking delivery and zeroing the new rifle last week, she took her first deer last night. This young chap is a regular on my small patch and tended to take the same route several night per week and at roughly the same time. I have noted deer often hold routines for a few weeks then change them - often to another routine. He'd eluded me until now for a variety of reasons. He has cast recently as can be seen. Risked a neck shot at 66m as he was very close to the boundary, and was successful - he dropped on the spot.

Thanks - yes it is their Superdome 44. Seemed the easiest choice and works well so far.

I'm looking at a couple of mods, including one for .30-06 and thought their sound moderators seem well built and light enough, while giving good sound moderation.

She took her first deer last night……..Are all rifles female ?

Dunno - people refer to cars and ships in the female gender so it seemed like a good idea!

All firearms are female, until you get up to light weapons space. Heavy machineguns and mortars are dudes, because you swear more at those and it wouldn't feel right.

You’ll want to get a synthetic stock for it so you don’t scratch that wood

I have a .300 Ultramag that is most definately a male, best described as a 1980s pub bouncer.

Haha, exemptions for Magnum calibres maybe?!

Creedmoors being ‘non-binary’?

Who did you buy it from? I looked at one at the Stalking Show and emailed the dealer for a price and he didn't bother replying!
