Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Long Range Hunting Borden/Alpine clone XP-100 by Nine Run Gun

Last Tuesday I confirm drops, on the Black Widow 6.5x47 Lapua. I was also able to shoot for the first time in the field both on Steel and Prairie Dogs my Nine Run Gun/Michael DeLoach 6.5-284 that has a Borden/Alpine (Clone XP action). The action is so smooth! The Dell trigger is deliciously light! I almost giggle at times it is so light and clean. Shoots great as you can tell!
Confirmed drops at 400 yards, 496 yards, 575 yards, 645 yards, and 673 yards. All was 10” steel with the exception of the 673-yard target which was 12.” Using the Nosler 140 grain Accubond. Dan Ekstrom did the loading and the shooting at 100 yards for load development and turned in a beautiful 10-shot group, using a Harris Bipod in a small leather field bag. McMillan Stock, and Holland’s Radial Baffle brake always does a wonderful job turning recoil into puff-cake status.
I should’ve taken more pictures during drop confirmation, but we were trying to get three different specialty pistols drops confirmed that morning. Plus, we wanted to do some dog shooting as well. Picture below is 10-inch steel at 575 yards, during drop confirmation shooting, and you can tell it was stacking in the shots. Sweet Rig! Beautiful build Michael! I am looking forward to using this for hunting this fall.

Nice work.

Beautiful gun. I'd hate to guess what kind of money you have in that fancy rig. How bad is the muzzle blast/percussion?

With the Holland Radial Baffle brake the blast is not bad compared to other brakes, because of it's design.

Wow, group is unbelievable. Must take some serious practice! Congrats.

Dan did the group shooting at 100 yards.
I did the shooting on steel.
Thank you.
I will pass on to Dan your compliment.

Can’t stop staring at it. Thanks for posting.

So....when are we going hunting?

I am hopefully going in August, if I can get out

Optics? Very curious!!

Swarovski X5 5-25x56, with their MOA reticle.

Is the eye relief extended? Do you just get close? Or try to make the "rings" concentric at arms length? Sort of wondering if anyone has taken Wally Seibert's place in that regard. Used to be on a BR forum with him ... real nice guy I thought.
