I have two factory XP-100 stocks that are no longer needed. One came from a 221 Fireball and the other from a 7mm BR. $80 shipped each or could make a deal for both.

I've got a Remington take off barrel, said to be a new take off, in 7mm SAUM. The barrel is 24" long and is the standard magnum contour, stainless steel. Let me know if you are interested.

I use Harris on my XP-100's. No problems with them. I have riflescopes on four of my five XP's. Absolutely the way to go on an XP. I have one still setup using a Burris 3x-12x pistol scope. It will change at some point in the future to a rifle scope. You will need a decent muzzle brake to...

Been hooked for a while. Prior to this I’ve shot just over 400 yds and have made handgun kills at just under 300 yds. Took me a bit to find a place to shoot at this distance.

Happy Easter! Christ is risen indeed! He’s Alive! Amen!!!

If I, me personally, were to do a barrel nut system I would do the Bug Nut from bugholes.com. That is the only way I would do a barrel nut. https://www.bugholes.com/category-s/1984.htm I will also clarify that I’ve never done a barrel nut of any kind. I prefer shouldered setups. The Bug Nut...

I always wear plugs and muffs when shooting, even rifles.

Finally made it out to some distance with the XP-100 30 Nosler. Shot out to 700 yards with the first 30 Nosler I have built by Jon Beanland. I didn't bring enough ammo for this one to get farther out but that's okay. I'll be back. Also shot my 300 RUM Remington 700 rifle out to 1,100 yards. A...

Who's "Bean"? LOL I have the trigger set at 1.75 pounds. I could have went a tad bit lighter but that's as light as I wanted for this rifle. It's crisp with no creep and no overtravel.

I think the X pattern makes more sense than in-line. This allows more screws in less space also.

My trigger is under 2 lbs with the MCarbo spring.

I have a Browning X-Bolt left hand Hells Canyon Long Range McMillan in 280 Nosler. It has been 1/2 MOA accurate with my handloads (I've not shot any factory ammo except to get on paper while sighting in the scope). I installed an MCarbo trigger spring (quite easy to do i might add) and now the...

After a bit of speculation, I think I'll keep my XP-100's. I am quite certain I would wake up one day and regret doing so. Been way too hard to get to where I am with those XP-100's. Thanks for all the input and also for my son, who helps keep me grounded at times.

AI cases have some drawbacks from making brass. More case loss when form new brass from a manufacturing standpoint. That's one reason the 30° shoulder is more prevalent than sharper angles. I've had some Ackley Improved cases and really like them. My three favorites were 30-280 AI, 280 AI...
