Took this nice 175 pound 9 point whitetail with my Contender at 70 yards. One shot instant kill. West Texas.

That is outstanding! Good looking set of antlers. I'm glad the trip worked out and the 30-30 Ackley did the job. That is probably the next barrel I'm getting. Again, congratulations.  Mike

That's a great buck - I don't care where you hunt. Congrats Gman - I know it was a long time coming.

Hey GMan, that is an awesome buck! But I have question and concern.  Isn't the 30-30ai an obsolete cartridge? I heard DanB mention once that it is very inaccurate and under powered for deer and is really only in its own with chucks and tree-rats!  I've never seen Dan hit anything with his past 50 yards, and then that was a barn door!
