[ASSASSIN]

I shot this mangy coyote at 162 yds. with my wife's little Contender Carbine in 7mm TCU....

Now that's coyote ugly. Nice looking gun. Good shooting. Thanks for the photo.

He's so ugly that he probly is thanking you. 7TCU is a pretty nasty round for its size. 357 maximum shoots deer with his. And yes, nice gun!

Nice lil rig, what rings are those?

[ASSASSIN]

Those are Weaver's 4X4 rings...

Yes, I do have 2 sets on there - 4 rings....

That's the way I like to see them critters. Good work. Nice looking rig.

[ASSASSIN]

Thank you gandydancer!

Nice shootin, you done it a favor-good on you........do hope you buried that thing.

[ASSASSIN]

As bad as that thing SMELLED! No, I did not burry it but, I did drop it in a deep hole....

Why the excess rings? The 7TCU is not exactly a hard recoil?

[ASSASSIN]

Shooting that 165 gr. Sierra bullet, recoil is quite sharp in that little 5 lb. rifle. With just two rings, I could not keep that scope from sliding and changing eye relief. I added another set of rings, dusted the bottom halves with powdered rosin, cranked everything down good and tight and in 300+ rounds, that scope has not even had the thought of moving! And besides that, my wife thinks it looks cool with 4 rings on it, and I have to agree....
