XP-100--338/284

[Preacher]

Just buttoned up my latest XP-100 chambered for the 338/284 Winchester...
Had a lot of small pieces of Walnut and Maple to short for rifles so I decided to glue em all together and carve out a rear grip stock for one of my XP's... I've been at that all winter, and just sprayed the last Auto-clear coat on it Friday.. Finished up the metal work yesterday, and cut a seater die for it. Using a opened up .284 Redding full length bushing die with 338 caliber bushing for sizing. The barrel is a straight 1.250--20" SS SM Pac-Nor 10 twist, and the trigger is a Kelby..
I have one of my old 4x12 Burris Compacts on it for now...
When the rain backs off I'll see if it will shoot...
Lots of 180 Ballistic Tips just waiting for the weather to behave..

Nice rig Preacher as all of yours are. You oughtta' go out to the MOA shoot in WY, coming up in a couple weeks-- www.moaguns.com

Hey how do you like the 4-12x Minis? I have 2 of them and have had some issues with the glass in them over the 15 or so years i've had them. Is yours working well?

 

[Preacher]

sscoyote--I would love to make the trip, but not traveling to much these days..
I have a lot of those 4x12 mini's on various 22 rimfires and a few Mach2's, never had a problem with them. It will be interesting to see how this one works out on the 338/284 recoil wise, I usually use Nightforce scopes on them but dont have a extra one right now, and hate to pull one off of a different rifle..

Is that a "center core" I see in that stock? Looking pretty good from here. 8) 8) 8)
As usual, another good looking build. ;D
Your work is "always" FIRST CLASS!!!

Mikie, it has 7 panels in it...
