But as my dad always says...."If my aunt had balls she's be my uncle"
These days your aunt doesn't need balls to be your uncle.

That's great James, we'll get you out to my club and you can try a few out while shopping.
M Sounds great Mark. I have reason to want to get up just a bit north of Orillia, gun hunting LOL. See you at the SxS shoot.

Coosa, what caliber do you use for deer? I shot the 10" 7 MM TCU wildcat cartridge competitively and it was incredibly accurate. In developing the loads for our guns, a buddy, Russ, and I shot them with a 6x extended relief scope off sandbags. Russ could shoot 5 shot groups at 100 meters that were sub half-inch. In competition, we were limited to leaf sights. I don't think the round was suitable for deer, at least back then, because the 7 mm bullet wouldn't expand at the velocities we shot. I had a custom unlimited gun built on the action by Vern Juenke, a gunsmith in Nevada. It shot a rimmed European cartridge. It was a tack driver with his custom adjustable peep sight on a 14" barrel. Gil Gil, I have killed all the deer with a 7x30 Waters barrel and a Burris scope on it. I could never attain the type of accuracy you are getting with the 7TCU, but it would shoot 1" groups off sandbags. The gun was not the weak link - that would be me. But I did get several in the 150 to 175 yard range when hunting out of a tripod with a rail around it for a rest. I have thought of trying to find a 7 TCU carbine barrel to make a first deer gun for my grandson. But I don't know how old he will need to be to be able to easily cock the gun.
