So my first xp build is finished and it returned home today. If the weather cooperates I’ll put it to work on some steel tomorrow. The experience was pretty painless. I think the most stressful part was trying to decide what caliber. In the end I just kept it the same caliber it was. Everyone needs a 223. I talked to Mike Abel from Rogue Precision Gunworks or 40xmike here on the forums. I ordered a barrel from Lilja. Then since Ernie was so nice to get a group buy going on mcmillian stocks I ordered one of those too. Fast forward 8 months from the start of the process and it’s home and looks good. If it shoots half as good as it looks I’ll be very happy. Mike was a great guy to deal with and was patient with all the questions I had. I’ll let you know how it shoots after the weekend.This message has been edited. Last edited by: shutupandhunt, | ||

I will back what Aaron says. I have several guns built by Mike ranging from 20 Vartarg to 7saum. All shoot under 1/2” @100. I have another in process now and will be sending components for another soon. That is a great looking XP I’m Sure you will be very happy with it. Looking forward to see ho w it shoots.
