    Pretty in pink

    Well I just finished my daughters new gun.Its a winchester 7mm08 that I cut down the stock and put on a limbsaver recoil pad on.I also filled the stock with lead making it heavier to absorb the recoil. I cut off the schnee forend and added wood so I could flaten out the foregrip to make it more stable off a shooting platform.I them floated the barrel,adjusted the trigger,added accraglass texture to the grip and foregrip and oh ya! Painted it HOT PINK like I was told.So we finaly got out for a test run and I would say it was a sucess.
    This was a buck I have on trailcam and was wanting bailey to get.I havent seen him latelty but right at dark he came ih. She made a perfect 65yard shot and he piled up less than 80yards away.

                Thats the first with the new gun but she is 5 for 5 overall. I have guided seasoned hunters that havent performed as well under pressure.So yes I am a little proud.It doesnt hunt that I have more fun watching her than hunting myself!

                    With all the talk of managed recoil loads, a friend loaded my daughters 7mm08 bullets.We used 120 grain nosler ballistic tips which was the lightesd 7mm bulet I could get without going to a hollow point and loaded it with IMR 4064 40GR , Its going2730 fps and is good medicine for whitetails.
