Lever Gun Kills for Whelan Lad

[the spank]

Our friend from down under known as Whelan Lad is always asking for pics and stories of lever gun kills so I thought why not dedicate a thread and give our lever junkie a fix for his obsession. I'll start the ball rolling. My first and consequently only Whitetail to date. Taken with my Grandfathers Model 71 .348 using factory Winchester 200 grain silvertips at 338 metres from a stand at Deerdr's place in the fall of '09.

A nice long shot, well done

338 meters!!! And here Deerdr said you can't shoot a rifle worth a darn! Lucky shot?

I hope Crankie at least looked up and said thanks.

I told him that for years and years, you might say it was a long term set up!!

I hope Crankie at least looked up and said thanks.

Yuppers!! I looked up and said thanks Grampa for all the years of mentoring and for leaving me your favorite rifle!! Couldn't have done it without you!!

Hail Mary full of grace
Looky what this gun nutter hath done
He hath committed sacrilege by scoping a model 71
Holy Moses help the weak eyed see thy sights
And reap the game from thy forests, plains and mountains
Forgive the Bubbas for they know not what they do
When they deface the rifles that we love so much
Amen

This was a few years ago, my first whitetail. Shot with my 1966 Savage 99DL in .308. 180gr Federal Blue Box. About 60 yards.
