It takes 43 muscles to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger squeeze.

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

Good on ya, Steve. Great choice in Contender chambering, my fave ;-)
Rod, too.
Short cuts often lead to long recoveries.

You got a nice one. Congratulations How did the 139 SST perform out of the 7x30? How were you hunting? Blind, Stalking, Ladder Stand? How did your 2x6 Bushnell Trophy perform? More Details

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.
