How many of you have taken your Swiss/Sig Arms 223 hunting? What were you hunting? Any pics? I use mine for tuktu(caribou), seals and hopefully I'll get me some wolves this coming winter with it. Cheers,

Man that is awesome, I am tied up here in BC on a boat and the bloody seals are all over the place, taunting me. It's enough to drive a seal flipper pie eating Newfie boy insane.

I was looking at one of those or a Tavor for coyote hunting.....

anyways great pic and nice shot.
 
Darn it Otokiak!

Looking at that picture, I get the same feeling that I do when I pass a group of kids playing street hockey. It makes me wish I was little again and go run home and grab my stick and join in.

Thanks for the pictures, but I wish I was with you.
 
I took My Swiss Arms Black Special this Year for Moose. We were only shooting Calves. But alas I didn't see any calves, saw a couple of Adults, but no calves.

I loaded up a bunch of 70 gr. Barnes Triple Shocks, which were grouping great out of my 1 in 7 twist. I fired 2 x 5 round mags to ensure my zero was still correct with this ammo and both groups were just over 1.5" at 100 yards with gusting winds and just a mag rest I was happy!
 
That is an awesome picture.

I have mine set up for gophers and paper. Unfortunately there don't seem to be any gophers or prairie dogs here. One of these days I'll make that big game gopher safari hunt to Alberta a reality. :D

Up in the Orillia for the controlled hunt a couple of years back. Very nice that the MNR allows rifles for the controlled hunt unlike Southern Ontario. :wave:

That buck was walking in a dip 15 minutes after legal shooting time and I didn't see him from sitting down. He grunted and I had to stand up to get a clear view. Even then I couldn’t see his legs. I got him in the cross hairs but when I squeezed the trigger nothing happened. I turned white like a ghost. When I cocked the rifle earlier I didn't let it slam to avoid the noise -> BAD idea! I can't figure out how I was still thinking strait at that point. I ducked down and re-cocked letting the bolt slam home. When I stood up to shoot and saw him looking at me. I popped three fast ones because I didn’t want him to start running. It was around 135 meters.

The Swiss Arms is a great hunting gun especially if one would spend some time choosing the right ammo. And that young buck tasted really good.
