With our son back in the states (Near Huntsville, AL) after being in Mexico for the last 5 years, he is ready to start hunting and shooting with XP-100's again. When we go see them, he will be running a center-grip 6.5 Creedmoor XP-100. He has been shooting and hunting with specialty pistols...

Yes, I do.

Thanks! I want to be clear...I don't build anything (I'm dangerous with a Dremel Tool! :) ) But I have fun loading, shooting, and trying to think outside the box to get stable field shooting positions for my specialty pistols.

Yes, I think we have more fun than I deserve.

As long as I can see trace or my impact I enjoy shooting at small targets at distance, as it kinds of sharpens your wind/mirage reading pencil

Wind + Terrain=Humility & Fun! Shooting specialty pistols at distance is not that much harder than rifles....It's Just Drop & Drift. Yes, your drop and drift is more, but the accuracy can be the same. It may be harder, but it is not as much as most people think.

Glenn and I went out to shoot some steel after lunch on Tuesday. I just wanted to shoot two of my center-grip XP‘s to check drops from the standing position, shooting off my tripod. 7mm SAUM/160 LRX and the 300 SAUM/150 Raptor. The 7 SAUM took a ride to South Africa and back and was never shot...

I have been in contact with a gentleman who is high up the in the chain for situations like mine. I should know something for certain next week. I was in contact with few of UA employees who genuinely helped me while was out of country. With this guy, I feel I have a genuine advocate who also...

No. Biggest in a center-grip XP-100 is 338 Lapua Improved (338AX) I have a lightweight rear-grip 375 H&H I have a huge rear-grip in 375 Chey-Tac Not even tempted to do a 50 BMG:cool:

Yep!

At first I stayed with one caliber (7mm): 7mm TCU, 7mm-08, 284 Winchester. That lasted for about 10-12 years. After the 284 Win, I started playing the field.

Short Barrels Work:)

That Works!

Good Stuff Right There

8 sighter shots? The majority of shooting for score rounds (8) which are in the X-Ring which measures 3 inches in diameter-Great shooting for fireforming!
