Great shooting! Now you can bring out the Parkers and shoot grouse for the rest of the season.

My son Chris got the 8 point pictured below in our woods behind the house with a 1956 vintage Winchester M70 in .308 on our opening day, last Saturday.

James I had a Zoli combo , a Kerner drilling and still have a JP Sauer drilling all had 7x57R rifle barrels . Never tried anything in the 160 range most all I tried were 139-145 grains . But your combo gun looks quite nice !

Craig, thanks but it's not a combo. It's a single barrel stalking rifle.

Oh I’m sorry my mistake ! Still looks quite nice . I had one stalking rifle it was a Kettner single on a kinda weird action with a pre war period correct scope . That rifle was 6.5x52R of my memory is correct on the euro nomenclature anyway to us the rifle was a 25-35 WIN . Often wished I’d killed a deer with it before it went down the road but I didn’t .

That is a very pretty stalking gun.
