Going on a lope hunt in October. ( )
Got two pretty good suitable rigs for the job - which would you use, if you were me, assuming equal accuracy levels:
1. T/C Icon "Original Medium Action", .243 win, 24", 1 in 12, with 85 gr Speer spitzer soft point boattails - handloaded, and Bushnell Elite 4200 2.5-10x40mm, or
2. T/C Encore Prohunter, .280 Rem, 28", 1 in ?, with 139 Hornady SST ballistic tip boattails - handloaded, and Nikon Monarch 4-16x42mm SF.
??
Also, if you have any tips on how to hunt them in October in the Oklahoma panhandle, and wish to share, I would appreciate it.
Thanks.
