Default New Optic/load for the 17 FB XP-100

Figured I wasn't a real SP shooter if I didn't have a Leupold 2.5-8x EER scope. So i bought 1 and had a M1 turret put on it and shot out to 425 yds. using the 25 V-Max, everything was less than 1 MOA even at 425. Gonna try the 30 Gold at 15 gr. IMR 4198 at distance next few days. We'll see. Getting 3300 out of the 30 Gold/16" barrel--



Gettin' ready for coyotes.

I like that rig a LOT!

I could just kick myself in the @$$ for selling my XP100R in 22-250. I was out of a job and needed the money and I think I got $350 for it at the time. New they were only about $500, but now they're bringing upwards of $900. It would have been a wonderful donor for a small cal project now.
