Yea, my 7 mag... I killed one deer with it, and sold it to a nephew. He killed one deer with it, and sold it to another nephew. He killed one deer with it, and I have no idea where it went from there.

Damn thing kicked like a mule!! The last time I shot it from a bench, I shot a dime sized group. But it had to go!!

I sold it before I received my education from the 223 thread and learned all that recoil is completely unnecessary. The kick wasn’t worth the “whollop” I thought I was getting and it turns out all I was really getting was crappy groups and a sore shoulder.

We need the ski-doo story!

We were riding on a stretch of river in MN. Came around a bend doing about 75, there's 15-20 deer RIGHT there. All I could do was mash the brake and duck. Smoked a yearling, it went over my head, taking out my windshield and bouncing my helmet off the handlebar riser. Broke three of it's legs and most of it's ribs. Luckily buddy had a carry gun with and we could put it down. By the time we got permission to retrieve it as a road kill and rode back down there, the coyotes had it half gone.
