Attached pictures, showing my tent blind set up adjacent to a Snowmobile corner signpost/blind. The view is 400+ yards down an old abandoned county road.
Rifle is a Rem 700CDL, stainless fluted, .270 Win, in a Stocky's Ultra Walnut, Leupold VX2- 3-9X, Timney trigger. Note the protection tape on the muzzle. Rifle is pillar-bedded, barrel free-floated. I was using a handload of 130 gr. Nosler Ballistic Tip, ahead of a near-max load of Reloder 22 and CCI mag primer.
I really like the rifle's balance and it shoots very well.
Saw over 40 does this past season and passed on two spikehorns, missed a quick 400 yard shot on a nice buck. (Under-estimated the range by a hundred yards.) The buck was moving across the narrow trail.
Hopefully, next year will be more successful, but this year was a lot of fun. Had a nice bobcat come within 40 yards at another location, then after it saw me, froze, then just melted away from sight.
