[QUOTE="Buttermilk, post: 1463828, member: 5262"] Two years ago, I shot a buck from my tree stand with my rifle. I braced my arm against the tree truck and shot him at 82 yards. That rifle weighs 10.25 lbs (300 RUM built by Jon Beanland) Last year, I used my XP-100 (Jon Beanland built 7 RSAUM that weighs just under 7 lbs.) and steadied the gun with a mono-pod (cut off broom handle) rested on the top of my right boot. I held the mono-pod broom handle with my off hand, and rested the XP-100 across my hand holding the mono-pod. It was very steady. Shot a buck at 72 yards with that method. On both of those occasions, I did not grip the gun hard (very similar to what I do from a bench). Both have muzzle brakes, so I don't have to worry about recoil, just use hearing protection. [/QUOTE]
