6mm /.243 hunting success on Big Game

[huntnful]

21 days. Hunts in 3 states. 10 kills.

The 6 Creed got a much deserved detailing and “cleaning”.

Bolt pulled and wiped clean. Firing pin assembly inspected and cleaned. Lightly oiled the bolt.

Chamber and throat blasted out with brake clean and scrubbed.

Blood prints and grime cleaned off the stock. Used a very light bristle brush and some water/baby soap. Got everything pretty much off.

Scope body cleaned and glass dusted off and then cleaned with alcohol wipes.

Supressor removed and dumped free of carbon and air compressor used to blow clean. This is the US Reaper 6.5 in orange for those wondering.

See @Formidilosus you can kill stuff and still keep your rifles looking nice

Sorry @huntnful nothing went down the barrel other than bullets

She bad . But just imagine how many more animals you would have killed with a clean barrel… (approximately 0)

Daughters first deer 108 eld-m from a 1-8 tikka impact velocity around 2575. Shot was a little high took out 2 ribs on the entry and bullet went up through the spine with no exit. 24gr of bullet was against the off side hide.

Mediums. Lows work too with more cheek weld.

Also depends on barrel profile. Unless it’s a real heavy barrel lows would be my choice.

I’m using lows over the PBB hybrid light and have plenty of clearance.

It’s a toss up between folks liking mediums or lows. I’d buy both if you can and then sell or return the other set.

Thanks guys. Was trying to get some info before the sale ends? Are the premiers worth the upgrade since it has a level?

Sorry not trying to derail the thread , trying to get my .243 up and running.
