Finally took my first Animal with my new 6.5CM. Blue Wildebeest are Notorious for being tough, but was no match for the 142gr Nosler ABLR.

Nice Blue, what distance did you take him from?
 
Wonderful trophy, I took several animals with my 6.5CM a number of years ago, with the right bullet that caliber does very well. What rifle is that? It's a beauty!!

Its a remington 700ADL tactical
 
Nice!

The Remington Model 700 is my favorite bolt action.
(I don't care if it is a push-feed)
 
Nice shooting and nice looking blue!
 
I came to find that if you put it right where it should be, it's not a matter of if but when it goes down. After that, if it's good ammo, it's almost a certainty. The blue wildebeest is a special animal and one of my favorite I hunted. Very nice animal and good work!

I didn't see your request re: ship co’s. My last shipment was 2023. Quotes from SBS Logistics ($1,198), Badger Cargo ($1,184 - used them) & AHG Trophy Shippers ($1,746). AHG owner's an asshole so wouldn't have used him anyway. Eastern Cape - Houston, TX, so your mileage may vary. NEVER use Karl Human Taxidermy aka Wild Africa Taxidermy on Eastern Cape. Trophies arrived shattered with no padding/packing material.
