The Covid 19 Super 30

I keep my extra rounds in an ammo band for quick access. I can shoot, eject, grab a fresh round, reload and shoot again with accuracy in about 10 seconds. I’ll look for my empties after the shooting’s done.

On the mule deer hunt I had my other custom #1 that gun chambered in 7MM/08. I got off three shots two of which were hits. I carry two extra rounds between between the fingers of my left had if I'm walking otherwise the spares are in my coat pocket. We stopped at Cabelas on our way west but they didn't have the ammo pouches that go on the stock.
As with anything practice makes perfect.

Dean that's a nice #1. An earlier gun that looks to have a decent piece of wood on it. Once long ago I had a 7X57 in the AB, it had the 22 inch barrel but the larger forend. I bought it mostly because it has a great piece of wood in it. I recently bought one in 35 Whelan that was supposed to have A+ wood and gave a premium for it. It's better than average but not as nice as some.

Is your scope a 1.75X6 or 1.5X5? I have the latter on my 375 H&H but went with a 2.5X8 on the Whelan and a 405.

I initially had a Vari X III 1.5-5 on the 1H 416 Rem Mag I recently sold and Vari XII 1-4 on the 1H 375 H&H I also recently sold . However in the last two years I put Athlon 4-12’s on both of them mainly for shooting paper and to see if those scopes would hold up . Long story short those guns produced the best groups from the bench I’d ever fired with either of them .

I always thought a #1A in 6.5x55 or 7x57 was rather sporty
