Pygmy's Old Gun

[Lawdwaz]

I bought this from Pygmy in the early days of this forum.  It is what started our friendship, I'd almost say it was love at first sight. 

Remington XP100R chambered in .308 Winchester.  I put a Leupold 2.5x8 EER scope on it with Redfield rings and bases.  For the life of me (and I don't feel like going downstairs and pulling the file on the gun/load) I don't recall the bullets I used.  It was great fun and certainly a challenge to hunt with.  I only killed one doe with it at around 200 yards one year then the next they legalized the centerfire rifle in Livingston County and I sold it to a friend.

I believe I recall seeing the same gun in .308 improved on the 24 hour campfire classifieds recently.   If I see it again I’ll let you know.

Your memory is slipping, Good Buddy....That XP-100 was chambered in .260 Rem, which is ballistically equivalent  to the  6.5 creedmor, which is the current rage in deer hunting..

I killed about five deer with it before I sold it to you... My handload featured 100 grain Nosler  Partitions....I'd have to check my old reloading logs to remember the powder....
