I love how when you see the vapor trail it is really flat and also pretty much as soon as you hear the gun the chuck topples! Great job!!

Years ago I used to use the 85 gr Sierra blitz softnose. 243 Remington w a 24 inch bbl..AMAZING accuracy & devastating on yotes/wolves in Alaska. Had to wait til they hit 400 yds for a 1 hole pelt saving kill. Anything closer would blow a huge exit hole. Would prob turn a woodchuck into confetti.

I remember, in the before times, going to my Uncle's dairy farm in southern Quebec and "evicting" a few Chucks. My first chuck was a center mass shot from 50 yards, silhouetted on a hill. Died so fast, he was still standing, frozen in place with no heart

'Pretty consistent hits' is an understatement, your shooting is outstanding ! Great vid gents.

@@ChuckinTV Have a Ruger M77 (first model) in 30-06 that I handloaded with one of the first Israeli powders to come over, and 165 Gn. Nosler Partition bullets. Weighed the cases, bullets, individual powder charges, hand- primed the cases, cut all cases to same length, and seated all bullets to same OAL. Went out to 100 yards and cold-barrel shot them. Three shot group was just inside of an inch. First test of that loading. Needless to say that became my pet load. Have other accurate rifles and pistols that I should handload. Just don't have the time. Do love seeing little groups from ammo that I made myself.

Great video sir.. Great shooting and great hunting.. I love the .243.. Man, that's some pretty country too where you're at.. Is that Ohio or ? Penn?

The Howa/weatherby vanguard is the best value in rifles hands down. Quality is far better than savage or Remington in same price range.

Welcome. Glad to have you! Woodchucks dig massive holes in hay fields, pastures, around houses/structures. They do cause damage to equipment, livestock, and buildings because of their holes. We do a pretty good job of keeping them thinned out by shooting them. Plus shooting them is a better alternative to poison or gassing them. I would have to say this "Deathray" round is my favorite for the 243. I have many more favorites for all the other calibers I use. Thanks for watching.

@@Mark.Hugie1 The Redfield Revenge is another scope that I shoot extended ranges with. I actually prefer my Revenge scopes over the Battlezone. They are the same glass, just different features. I would say that a Nikon with a re-settable would be my next choice in the 150-250$ price range. That's what I'd lean on as a Redfield Revenge replacement. I rely on the turrets for elevation compensation. So a scope that tracks well and has reset turrets is a must for me.

I just know in order for you to be able to scalp an 8lb chuck at that distance you "GOTTA" have some "GOOD" glass and I want some of that action dude. I actually thought the Redfield Revolution took the place of the Revenge. I've been trying to find a Thompson Center Venture in .243 still laying around in some store's back stock months now (but luck) so I moved on to the Vanguard. It looks like this video just might have been the thing to cause me to go ahead and pull the trigger on that purchase. Now I'll be on a scope hunt to pair it with in that $200-250 range.
