They Get Knocked Down, But They Get Up Again

[Bacon8tor]

Finally caved in and built a 6.8 using *** bolt and barrel. This is my first hunt with it and my first hog hunt in about a month and a half. Learned a lot from this hunt.

Nice!

 

[FrankT]

what ammo were you shooting? and always carry spare mags with you, nice sounder right there

 

[BDubbs]

looks like a mighty fun hunt! and my goodness what a good picture in that scope!

Frank I'm using the Hornady 120 SST. I only put 20 rounds in the 30 round Barrett magazine to reduce weight. LOL never again.

 

[FrankT]

Well that is the right ammo, double tap I guess remember running you are not making precise shots. Never run out of ammo, learned that in Vietnam!

 

[RattlesnakeDan]

You did good! Fun times!

 

[Bakester]

Nice shooting! Yeah, the extra mag is mandatory.

 

[gshock]

Nice hogs down!

 

[Night Owl]

You scored some nice long shots on some of those pigs. Lots of squealers in that sounder. Good shootin'!

 

[Wildfowler]

Yes. Always carry spare (topped) off mag in your hip pocket.

I agree about the scope. Very clear especially when zoomed in. What model?

 

[Curly Shuffle]

DANGGG!!!! THUD THUD THUD!! You smacked a few out of that bunch. I am sure they are dead somewhere. Nice going!! Good shootin! BANG BANG!!

 

[Bacon8tor]

Thanks. It's not very often I run into sounders that big out here. So I didn't think too much about having more ammo on hand.

Scope is a Zeus 640 42mm.

 

[Wildfowler]

Have videos from Armasight scopes always had the Flir logo in them like that?

I don't remember seeing that before, I probably just didn't pay attention. But when I saw it your video I thought to myself that Flir has really upped their game in their RS scope lineup.

 

[Bacon8tor]

I bought it in December of last year. Might have been after FLIR bought Armasight and made the scopes say flir instead of armasight.

 

[Wildfowler]

It looks good. Thanks.

I like how it holds its clarity throughout the zoom range.

My local dealer had a new Flir scout3 640 earlier this summer that I've played with one night. It also held its clarity through out the zoom range nicely. It was a lot better than other Flir thermals I had used. I'll bet flir quietly made some improvements to their lineup?

You're looks very good too!!

 

[der Teufel]

Nice going, clearly there were several more that were hit and didn't make it too far.

Keep After 'Em!
