X-Bolt Hell's Canyon Pics?

[10 Ringer]

Thinking of getting this gun for deer and maybe close range elk in 7mm-08. Anyone have any pictures of it set up with scope and stuff? Interested to see how they look. TIA 10 Ringer gun)

I don't have any pics of just the rifle, but mine is the speed model in 6.5 cm with a grey bull scope (Leupold 4.5-14*50)

That is a sharp looking gun. How far did it have to reach for that Mule Deer?gun)gun)

125 yards

The gun is a straight shooter though, I did zero load development. Wanted to shoot 140 Amax, but all they had was 123's so I got those, 44.5? grains of RL17 seated .020 off the lands. Shoots .5-.75 most days, sighted for zero at 200, did the math and she is right on out to 800. Really a nice little rifle, lightweight and well balanced but can still reach out if needed.

LOve the Speed, have you tried 140gr bullets in it?

I haven't yet, the 123 shot so good I loaded up 100 and went hunting! When these run out I have all the various 140's ready to try out.
