660 buck

Post by olskool »

I have lost count long ago how many deer I have killed with my 1968 remington 660 in 6mm rem. this is my favorite story. one oct. morning I was sitting on the ground on an old road at the back of the land I hunt. a doe walked across the narrow road at a fast pace 100yds away. knowing this is the rut here in SC I instantly raised my 6mm, a wide racked buck fast stepped into the view of my vintage 3x9 leupold. I moved the cross wires between a gum tree and the thicket, I had a foot gap between the two to make my shot. when the view of his shoulder hair appeared I touched my hair trigger, he was gone in a flash. I walked the distance, I look into the thicket's path and there he lay 10 steps off the narrow road. the 95gr. hornady SST with a full charge of IMR 4831 did it's job.Image
