XP100 Build Complete

[high standard 40]

It's finally complete. My 7BR Unlimited Silhouette gun is ready for testing. It sports a new Lilja 3 groove stainless barrel, Bomar rear and globe front. The action has been fully blueprinted and teflon coated. The stock I'm not sure of the brand because I bought it well used but it has found new life with a fresh coat of metallic blue clearcoat.

The current weight limit is 6 lb. This one weighs 5 lb 12 oz.


[I]Well done!!! It looks awesome! BB or HS unlimited?

I'll use it for both. My plan is to use the RCBS 145

Very nice, whats the trigger wght?

It is still the factory trigger. About 3 pounds. I don't have the budget for a better trigger right now.

Yeah, sometimes I'm a bit slow keeping up with rule changes. :grin:

When I started shooting handgun silhouette back in the early 80's, the weight limit for Unlimited was 4.5 lbs.

When I bought up the old Omark "Grot Gun", it had 2 stocks with it; one older, slimmer black one which makes the 4.5 lb limit, and a chunkier, grey one which puts it over.

This surprised me as I didn't know the rule had changed. :???:

I actually prefer the slimmer stock, and while there are those who say "What?? You shoot a .308 in a HANDGUN!!", it's actually quite comfortable to shoot with the mild cast boolits load I run through it. :mrgreen:
