Congrats!

I have a 30 30 sweet 14 Contender that I have been trying to bloody. I have passed 13 bucks but no shooters yet.

Congrats on a nice buck. I have always liked the 7-30 Waters, but never owned one.

Good on ya, Steve. Great choice in Contender chambering, my fave ;-)


Rod, too.

The SST performed great. The shot was a little higher than I would have liked, but still in the chest and down he went.

I was seated at the base of a tree. I was hunting with 5 other guys. Three were pushing, three were sitting. The deer popped out from thick cover across a small, drained swamp.

The Bushnell performed as all my Bushnell scopes, never an issue. I own 5 barrels and all wear Bushnell scopes. One is an Elite (my .223), but the others are all Trophy. I also have a Trophy on a Super Redhawk for over 25 years.

That is a nice buck, and the Waters is a good cartridge. Actually it is my favorite factory offering from TC for the Contender for deer and antelope.
