Brilliant stalk, Scotland looks incredible!

Brilliant - wish we could use the .223 for roe down here. I felt for you with the midges… horrible little sods.

Tikka is a hell of a rifle

You need some Avon skin-so-soft to keep those bugs at bay. Worked for the troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Good shot!

I’m from America and on a whitetail deer which is a bit larger that wouldn’t be where you’d want to shoot it we try for right behind the shoulder a good bit lower than where you placed it What’s the reason for your placement?

Through the upper lungs is where I like smaller calibre shots, makes a really clean carcass with minimum damage but can get long runs after the shot. It's just the diaphragm curls back the higher you hit so if you pull a little it's still a clean carcass. Cheers

I'm sure he didn't mean to almost clip the spine lol not everyone always gets that perfect hit they want.. I doubt he meant to put it there

Oh yes midges, not pleasant What range was the shot ? Cheers

About 130m in the end, he had wandered in quite close but couldn't get a shot with all the little trees and rushes in front.

Title says .223 Rem 55 grain but comment replies are saying .270. WTF?

No legal minimum or max in calibre but restrictions on bullet weight minimums with energy and velocity for roe and larger deer.

In Scotland for roe deer it’s 50 grains with a muzzle energy of not less than 1000 ft lbs and a muzzle velocity of not less than 2450 ft/sec.
