Here's a pic of my .257 Ackley improved that I finished building just in time for deer season.
Bagged a small buck yesterday. My desire for some jerky won out over my desire for a wall hanger. Season is over this weekend and we hadn't been seeing any deer with horns moving since last weekend. The deer came by (well, within 350 yards) and I decided to drop him. He was only a 4 pointer - smallest buck I've ever shot that wasn't a fawn. He will be good eating though.
The other 2 hunters I was with last week and I are all pretty much in agreement that another buck last week was brought down by this gun too. We were all three shooting at it, and his son thought he got it so he tagged it (then said he'd gie me the meat if I'd make him some jerky). After butchering though, the only shot angle that hit him was from my direction. I kinda felt bad that he tagged it then, but he said he really needed to get his semi running so it didn't bother him at all.
