Just had a 6.5-06 AI built this year plan on using it for deer season this year. It realy likes 140gr Grand Slams alot.

Just got a Weatherby Vanguard Syntetic Stainless chambered in .243 Winchester, put a 2.5-10x42mm Tasco Varmint scope, Rock Mount bipod, and Kolpin sling on it. Cant wait to use on whitetail.

For years I hunted with a .30-30 and even shot a deer with an SKS once- dead on impact, I was impressed actually.

But last night I bought a Weatherby Vanguard Deluxe chambered for .257 Weatherby Mag.
It's my 'one gun' to hunt everything from antelope and mulies to elk and bear.

I'll let you know how it works out next season when I get to put it to use.

BSA CF2 .270Win. 130gr 3-9x40 Bushnell

Just added a .260 improved with a 35degree shoulder to the grab bag. I used my 6.5-06AI this year with the 140gr GS worked great bang flop just the way I like it.

The more I shoot it, the more Im convinced I love it. 6.5x55 Swede in CZ 550 American. 129 gr Hornady SP over 46gr of IMR 4350.

Great deer rifle. :cool:

Instead of what I posted on this thread in 2006, this year I'll be using the 12-gauge H&R Ultra Slug Hunter I bought over the summer.

Andy, I quite agree the 6.5x55 Swede is great catridge. My dad loves it and that is why I am having one built for as we speak. I used his old one to build my 6.5-06AI. Thought it would be a nice present for him.

7mm Ultra mag when in Colorado, w/ 140 Partition
.243 or .308 here in Ca.
