I've had an XP 100 7mm-08 for about 8 years and have been trying off and on to get a shot at a deer or antelope. It finally came together for me. I set up at the edge of a field with my back to a tree and a stump in front of me with a couple of sand bags. This buck came out shortly after sunset and presented me with a head on shot at 236 yards. I put a 140 gr ballistic tip right on the money and he ran about 150 yards. Couldn't be happier with the shot and the deer.

Thanks guys!
That XP 100 looks like crap. Bluing worn, first owner did some whittling on the stock, but it sure does shoot! 1/2 to 3/4" at 100 yds. I've killed a couple deer with my Ruger Blackhawk .41 mag but I wanted to get a shot that took advantage of the XP's capabilities. Next time I'll bring the bipod. It would have made it a lot easier to get steady.
