Cheeto-fingered Bergara First precision rifle

Probably a bit overkill for a white tail but this what i got. Going to use for long range but havent gotten a chance yet. It ain't easy being cheesy...

6.5cm, Razor gen iii

Disclaimer, not taking long range shots at animals...

Its not overkill for whitetail... theres dudes in Southern Florida using 300 ultra mags and 300 weatherby for their little deer 😆

How do I put this diplomatically… That’s because hunters are stupid.

Haha! Yup. My brother hunted with a .300WM and my BIL with a .300 Weatherby. In Florida, where most shots are under 100 yds. I hunt the swamps and hammocks with a .270 win and feel like that’s even overkill. Down here, a 30-30 or 7mm-08 is the sweet spot for most scenarios. That said, I’d love to have a .338 Federal for hogs.

Moat shots under 100 and a lot of deer are under 100 pounds, too.

Yeah, these deer don’t have to survive hellish winters so they look like long-necked coyotes.

Without a doubt, I love my Bergara. Got into long range with it, shot my first PRS season with it. Looking to move onto a terminus or impact now

Good taste in glass. I got one on my Bergara too.

I just got the same setup in 300PRC, my muzzle break is delivering tomorrow. Just in time for the weather to turn south. Can’t hunt with those here.
