I’m literally going to sell some custom XP’s, so I may have something you are interested in…6.5-284, 6.5 Leopard (different than I have posted), and a 284 Winchester.
Shooting a single shot, specialty pistol, like a break open contender or encore in a straight wall cartridge, is quite a bit easier than shooting a revolver. Shooting a rear or center grip, specialty, pistol, especially a bolt action rig, is easier than shooting a contender or encore pistol with...
Thanks.
Let me say it this way, a custom build bolt action build, is no different whether rifle or handgun.
If, the same quality of parts and workmanship is there, the pistol is just as accurate as the rifle.
The difference is in the MV. I give up velocity when I use a shorter barrel.
I do not...
The center-grip 6.5 Leopard has a different stock on it now...I use to call it the Pink Panther.
It newer one (not pictured) is a ambi stock that Aaron Alexander made.
I also just had Peter Angelos/Omega Precision (Gillette) put a new and a shorter tube on it.
Will post pics, once load...
I love the 6.5 Leopard. I had one or two of them for the last 15 years plus or so.
The rear grip Muley was around 450ish.
The Center-Grip XP Muley’s were both over 600 yards.
SWFA, Nightforce, and Trijicon are all good scopes.
Just because a forum culture says they are "The Ones" does not make it so.
Sightron's S-III and S-III PRL scopes are awesome.
This S-III PRL has a reticle in the second focal plane...
Thanks @RL338 !
There are handful of articles on the 6GT
the 22GT and 25GT have a good following as well.
I don't have a 25GT, but I am not opposed to it :)
My load is: 155 grain A-Max, 46.5 grains of H-4895, CCI primer, 2.916 OAL case length @ 2734 fps.
Hornady once fired brass from a friend.
This load allows sustained shooting during the summer without a problem.
Engaged steel target up to and beyond 1K with it.
Let a friend use for WY-SHOT a...
Sub 16" 308 Win barrel with the 155 A-Max.
Still has an impact velocity of 1870 fps at 500 yards.
Depending on what you consider a minimum impact velocity for the A-Max and the newer ELD-M, some would stretch out this combo to the 650 yard mark. 550 yards for sure though.
My barrel is a...
If you have a 6GT, give us a description (pictures would be awesome), and why you chose the 6GT.
I have two them myself. Both are rear-grip specialty pistols.
The first one, is a re-barrel job, on a Christensen Arms, Modern Precision Pistol (MPP). I do not think they make them anymore...
