Just got my XP back together. It is a Jack Dever from Oklahoma City area silhouette pistol made back in the late 70's or early 80's. I got to meet Jack a few years back when he built a pistol for a co-worker. It is a 7x250 Savage w/Douglas barrel. Jacks stock work and machine work on the barrel and bolt. The bolt has a Sako type extractor. It has a Lyman back sight and a Redfield International Match front. I found a full set of inserts online.
I formed some new brass from some 250 Savage I got on this site and loaded some 140grn Remington Bulk and some Nosler 140 BT's. With the bad trigger I could keep it around 2" at 80 yds this last weekend. I have a new base and rings ordered for it and a new Weaver varible for this pistol. It had some trigger issues when I got it. Found out it was missing the front engagement trigger screw, wrong pins in trigger assembly and no detent ball for the safety. Found a trigger on this site, worked the old one over, sanded stock and put some finish on it. It still needs some hand rubbing.
I'm working on 100 pcs of brass and I'm going to try my hand at some open sight silywet shooting.
