.223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.

Pure self-interest, I assure you. The longer it stayed available, the greater the odds that I would buy it.

Know that feeling, well.

Yep

There is actually another listed on here similar price but….

FNG and to much scamming on here lately for me to entertain it

No deer for me on opening day, but I saw this coyote chasing a tiny yearling & well...... we just can't have that!

128yds RSS/77TMK impact velocity 2448. Almost head on shot, slightly downhill.

Can't find an entrance wound (I've yet to skin him out) small exit just in front of the right hip. No blood, but it dropped on the spot & it sounded like a balloon full of jello when I picked him up.

TMK’s strike again. A couple 9 yr olds doing work.

I made a poor shot at 300 yds as a group was crossing the road. The TMK saved the day. Fragmented and the heart was mush. The pig dropped in its tracks.

Was walking some public all day. On the way back to the truck I popped up out of the last drainage to see this guy. Seeing it was my last day he looked big enough. He took off with a bunch of does and I got tunnel vision on him. I ranged after the fact but at about 55 yards running broad side to me. I did nick the back of his leg but it popped his heart. This makes deer #3 and one elk for my little 223 and the 77TMK. All one and done. Heard the thwap, knew it was boiler room. He slowed, hunched up and went down within a few yards.

Heart pic is terrible. My phone started shutting down from dead battery when I was taking it.

Finally got to see the .223 in person. My wife shot her first deer with it.
-Whitetail buck
- Factory black hills TMK, 16” barrel, impact velocity roughly 2650
- 40 yards, slightly quartered to. Went 25 yards and died.
- Found the deer just by looking where it went. Backtracked the blood trail and it was bleeding pretty good even with no exit
- The bigger piece of bullet was stuck inside the offside rib cage, the smaller piece was just inside the hide
- it put about a baseball sized hole in one lung, and blew some other organs to pieces

Sample size of 1 but really happy with it so far.

Little goober got his 2nd deer. Compact Tikka with a 77tmk and suppressor is awesome.
