[QUOTE="MTGunner, post: 1512228, member: 2922"] PemTech, my XP-100R, 14” SS heavy contour Lilja bbl. with a Vias brake, is a 260AI or as Redding die company lists it as a 6.5-308X40. The 40 being a 40 degree shoulder on the cartridge casing. This I handload Nosler 120 BT and Sierra 107 SMK, have loaded Nosler 100BT but like the heavier bullets. I alway use a bipod and a sling. It has an added aluminum billet glued into the pistol grip that is threaded for a sling attachment. When I hunt I merely sling it under my arm, on a short sling, also hold the bipod legs for additional carrying control. Is it heavy? Yes, but lighter than my rifles and an adventure to hunt with. Having read the previous replies am thinking about changing to a rifle scope. Not entirely convinced as yet. Don’t know if this true wisdom, but has worked for me. Hope this will help. MTG [/QUOTE]
