The task was completed. Doesn’t matter what it took to get it done.
I have a varmit problem as well and I like to see people making shots with bullet weights that equal the varmits size.

Steve, once again you come thru in spades! Thank you my friend! As for my neighbors… they are my in laws. I won’t tell them until after the first few “salutes”! 😂

Good shot, looks like there’s plenty of giblets for the gravy.

What Kirk did not mention, was that he needed a fair amount of "Kentucky windage" to hit the target (gopher). The 280-grain bullet he loaded is a "bit on the light side" for that cartridge, and it required a minus 6 o'clock hold to hit the target.

That would give me a great excuse for replacing the smoker that flew so well and landed so poorly awhile back.

I think you'll have to settle for a shoulder munt, Kirk. Full body would be rather tedious.

Old rifle still has it. Good shot!

Not too many people can say they went gopher hunting with a 40-90 Sharps!

I'm pretty sure it never occurred to the gopher.

Chuck, that's only for when you need gas and a quick sandwich...not even close!

Mike you haven't been to 407?!? You're on probation starting today.
