Shot a doe and a pretty nice 8pt this morning with the m1a. First time hunting with it. Bothe were one shot kills in heart. Both deer were walking when shot. I love this rifle. Might switch over to it permanently for deer. Cool thing was that I hunted out of a climbing stand this morning and the twenty round mag actually worked just right for a rest of sorts off of the front rail of my stand. I used rem 150 grain core locks. Do went about twenty yards and the buck went about 40 yards. I'm doing my best to get my wife to help me post some pics from the computer. Or if any of y'all know how to post them from an iPad, let me know.

Thanks a lot to everyone for all your input; it has been extremely helpful.
