This is from the procrastination files... Mike built a beautiful XP for me over the winter that I received in March. Been sick since then and not able to get out to the farm to do any shooting or get my work done. Finally, yesterday I went out and mowed with the tractor and took time to do a little shooting. I've got a couple of pix for you...first is a photo of the XP and second is a target of the first 5 shots out of the gun. It's only from 30yds with fireforming loads. It really shows a lot of promise. BTW, the scope is one of the Bushnell 10X with MilDots. First class work by Mike!

How long is the barrel without the break? Does the break seem to help?

Tigger, it's a 14.75" barrel with a DE muzzle break that adds another 1.5" to the length. Virtually no kick, but the usual muzzle blast that goes with using a muzzle brake. No kidding, I could see the impact on the target on almost every shot.

tred1956, a used stock I picked up on the SP forum. Not sure of the make but I think it is a Fajen.
