Hot new 300 Magnum!
- Thread starter Why not?
- Start date
The saga continues.....
Just told Johnn Peterson that the accuracy of this thing is simply amazing! I am sorely tempted to do some bear research this Spring with Matrix 178 gr RBT Bonded Cores. Can I tell you they shoot flat?
They shoot very flat when started off at close to 3200 fps.
Not to worry, the 9.3X62 will still be along.

It's spring. Time for the science!
Looks like The Bald-Headed Bear!

Actually they look pretty close to a cod. Here in MB we call them mariah (like Mariah Carey). I think BC guys call them lingcod.
They look disgusting but taste awesome, almost like lobster when fried in butter.
Yes, and this is just crazy too..
...first four shots into half an inch!
Just guessed on a load, 73 gr H450 with 180 Speer spitzer boat-tails, and WLRM primers...just crazy!

With that target, who give a dam about the color... I sure dont... Precise rifle you got... JP.

They do taste like lobster, in fact our Alaskan friend caall them, "Poor Man's Lobster".
They are not a trash fish, as many think, but a voracious predator, and eat lake trout, whitefish, pike and other burbot. This one had a partly digested 17 inch burbot in its stomach. Burbot are the only fresh water cod, and even the big ones taste good.
This one was mounted by our fisheries branch, and is on display at their office. You can see it when you come here on your bucket sojourn.

Aaahhh. I am familiar with sal####er lingcod, deepwater fish and dark grey in color. Never caught one in NL, mothers partner in Scandinavia catch them on deep water line. Their favourite fish.
I have caught some type of cod in a local lake, small slimey and ugly. Did not have the long fins. Had the beard though. Nice catch WN.

A few question Ted,
- #1, who did the stock art work
- #2, What was the cost
- #3,
I'll tell you when you call .Oh, the reason I'm curious on the cost is with the purchase of my 375 CT, I also received a second fitted stock that may be a candidate for a similar 'facelift'.

Correction to my fish post, the fish I was referring to is actually called commong ling. The ling cod is different. According to wikipedia it is supposed to exist around the eastern part of NL as well as europe.
Straight from wiki:
The Lotidae are a family of cod-like fishes commonly known as lings or rocklings.
They are found in the Arctic, Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Except for a few species of Gaidropsarus, all are restricted to the Northern Hemisphere. All species are marine, except for the burbot, Lota lota, found in rivers and lakes in northern Europe and North America.
In Norway the burbot is called Lake (laakeh). Go figure.
Biggest one ever caught on rod there was 7 KG. CAUGHT IN 1976.

Oh taxonomy, my fav:
*adjusts glasses*
Lingcod- Ophiodon elongatus
Burbot- Lota lota*
Common Ling- Molva molva
* the tautonyms ( double names) signify these species are the "type" of their genus (the capitalized word)
Weirdly the first two are called Lingcod by folks in BC

That is the way the stock came from the factory, and they were sold off really cheap. Should have no problems finding one for sale, there were a lot originally being sold.
Not a tree, Looky, but we made sure we stayed well above her. Zoomed in with Marg's little point-and-shoot Nikon to get the best picture of her we could.
Hey, Phil, the next shoot will not be with a Nikon. We need a nice rolly-polly black bear for some sausage, ribs, bacon, ham, burger, and of course loin for our next surf and turf dinner.
