Beauty bull beretzs, great shooting too, congratulations!

xphunter - how are you setting up scopes on those? Are standard eye relief or extended eye relief scopes? I can't imagine shooting any of my single shot pistols with a standard eye relief scope, but you're MUCH deeper into the game than I am. Are the muzzle brakes taking enough recoil off to make standard eye relief workable?

Using rifle scopes
Excellent Muzzle Brakes: Holland Radial Baffle brakes

Above was a 280 AI


This is a 6XC

26 Nosler

Wow. Just wow. Thanks for sharing those videos. I had no idea a brake could be that effective, even on something like the 26 Nosler. I assume those are screw-on brakes from Holland? This is now severely intriguing me. I do quite well with 2-7x and 2.5-8x handgun scopes for hunting, but they wouldn't cut it for stuff over 400 yards.

Now I want one for each of my Encore barrels and on my XP-100 in .350 Rem Mag...being able to use rifle scopes would be a game changer.

Can't stand people talking when I am shooting, drives me NUTZ, but that's just me.

It's like someone giving you instructions when you are having sex

Yes, the brakes have to be timed by a smith.
My videos are far from professional.
Check more out if you are interested.

Understood.

Just sent you a PM.
Depending on the weight of the specialty pistol, chambering, bullet weight/MV, and quality of the brake, I will choose a partial FOV (Which is still greater than a LER full FOV), to a complete FOV.

Selmer,
If you want to learn to shoot distance with a specialty pistol, I have several loaner XP's that are ready to go for distance. You would need to pay for the ammunition.

Amazing that people will perceive value based on price. And then brag about how expensive it was!

I have a few of the Burris C4 scopes, both 1" and 30mm. I bought up all I could find when they discontinued them. They could be had for +/- $200 at the time...

Great thread with great stories and great photos. My meager story occurred only two weeks ago when I got my longest range shot on a coyote and my shortest range shot on a coyote (non-shotgun) on the same day. I was walking off of some BLM land after putting the stalk on some deer on which I decided to pass. Off in the distance I saw a coyote walking along. I laid down and when he stopped, I ranged him at 784 yards. I laid my 280AI across my pack, dialed the scope and dumped him. I was pretty tickled about my longest shot ever on a coyote with no witnesses. Oh well.

I finally got back to the truck and was heading down a county road to reach a section of state land. When I turned a corner, the world's bravest or dumbest coyote kept walking the ditch in front of me occasionally looking back over his shoulder at me. He didn't appear sickly in any way. I just continued to follow him at about ten to twenty yards behind him when finally he walked under the fence and stood there looking at me. Expecting him to haul ass any second, I decided to pull out the "long range coyote rifle", a Bergara LRP, 6.5 CM with LRTS scope and got out of the truck. I walked over to the fence thinking I would be laying down with the tripod or resting on the fence post. In all of this time he had covered a grand total of, what I estimated by eyeball and years of experience, about 15 yards. My wind call and dope were all good. So, my longest and shortest rifle shots on coyotes coincidentally occurred on the same day.

EXCELLENT!!!

720 yards with 6XC 108 grain ELD M.



860 yards with the same rifle and bullet combination as the last. Love that 6XC. No recoil, long case life, just a joy to shoot. I've killed plenty of animals at spitting distance with both bow and rifle. I also have the ability and tools to take them at long range when there isn't another option. It's a good tool to have.

Very Nice!
Love the XC!

Awesome!

this is an awesome thread. my longest kills are only 400, so i cant post any pics yet haha
