I love the stories. The wall tent/camp experience is so cool

What caliber rifle did he use?


6.5 creedmoor using 130 grain Barnes tsx. No one can convince me this isn’t an acceptable elk round. smile

The rifle is a Ruger American gen 2 standard. We have the stock extender off and the cheek riser on. Really helps fit kids right. It’s a banish suppressor.

Great rig!

No problems with the 6.5 CM here. I got one for my daughter and I love it. We've both tipped deer over with it now and I'd use it without hesitation.
