I am a Browning rifle guy, have daughters and son in law's, all deer and elk hunt, I have filled my safe with different A bolts and X bolts and medallions different calibers, but the point behind that was that anyone could go up or down the caliber need, and the gun and feel was familiar. Safeties too.
I recently finished a Cape Buff hunt with the bow, (a thrill for sure) but felt now I wanted to try with a gun. Ordered an X bolt medallion 375 H&H, has the iron sites. Just keep the same standard of guns in the safe. I got a bit nervous about controlled round feed and etc. But allegiant to Browning for now.
Recently took to the range for the first time, out of the box, iron sights only, factory A frame 300 grains. at 25 yds, pretty spot on, 1" high, off sticks. went to 100 yds, off stick (i no longer shoot off a bench, tired of getting my arse kicked) and 8" gong at 100, "boing" over and over. So it gives me confidence to start.
Will be mounting a Vortex Viper PST Gen 2 1x 6 with illuminated red dot BDC and Warne QR mounts.
And I am just starting reloading, so I will be likely staying factory ammo, 300 grain worked, will stay the course.
I am fascinated by the depth of knowledge and detail some of you have
