    Stupid question… how do you clean with barrel positioned so low? From the muzzle?

    Sorry for the late response but wanted to circle back after trying out all of your suggestion. First off you all nailed it. The 168 ttsx and the 175 LRX were great. Both were accurate and I found that both carried a bit more than my 180 in lead. I had good success this season with these...

    Alright, I have 168 TTSX and 175 LRX on order. I'll post up results once I get them in and get to the range. @z987k that will be great on the altitude. I am planning a high mtn mule deer hunt. Most of that will be around 11k or so. @pods8 (Rugged Stitching) Thanks for all the advice...
