Very nice buck! Congratulations!

And when this great coues showed himself, a short stalk put us at 480 yards, the shot was EASY. Bullet hit him like a freight train and was one of the quickest deaths I've seen, very pleased to say the least. Wound you see is the entry, exit was further back but still slightly high. First animal with the new 7PRC

The rifle has continued to make it look easy!

I've been able to shoot it out to 1200 and 1300 yards now and I have been in disbelief at how accurate it is, even with different shooters in field positions.

Below are a few deer the rifle has taken the past few weeks. Both ladies got 1-2 practice shots in the hours/days prior to killing their bucks, which were both one shot kills at 516 and 600 yards.

Just got my first custom rifle back from the gunsmith and got my first few shots through it, couldn't be happier with everything so far. Wanted to show her off a bit for yall

Defiance AntiX LA
Bartlein CFW M24 1:8 22"
Manners LRH
TBAC Ultra 7 CB
Triggertech Special 2 Stage
Zeiss V4 6-24 ill.
30mm bubble rings by Ruff's Precision Manufacturing

Gun was built by Axisworks in Tempe, AZ. I dropped off all the parts for the rifle and they had it done in a little over 2 months. Axisworks was highly recommended by @lancetkenyon and other influence from Lance in sprinkled around

Put 10 shots through it on the first outing. Took the first two shots with the brake getting the scope lined up at 25, two more with the suppressor at 25. Then two 3 shot groups at 100. At 100 yards ELDM factory ammo was ~1.2" with shots #5, 6, 7. ELDX factory ammo was ~0.65" with shots 8, 9, 10 through the barrel. Wasn't the most ideal shooting setup but i'm excited to see what this rifle will do.

I have some ADG brass, 215Ms, and Berger 180 hybrids to try. Currently have H1000 most available so that will probably be the first I try but I'm open to suggestions for the next powder to try in case I need it

Didn't kill a deer this archery season so that means my Nov rifle hunt is a go and this rifle will be getting this nod

It's hideous and you should give it away. I have 1 good suggestion
