Remington XP 100

IF you ever get tired of the pistol configuration it can be turned into a really rifle to. I have a 7MMBR with a forward grip and have been thinking of turning it into a rifle.

Hard to say a favorite all-around for me. I would need to separate it into uses--Basically have more than one favorite, depending on its purpose

How hard would it be just to take a 700 action and rebed it to a XP type stock and rebarrel with a 10" or 14" barrel ?

Might be some legal issues with that...

First, you would have to pay the ATF a $200 tax.

Then you have to notify the Federal Gvt every time you cross a state line with it - where you are going, why you are going, how long you will be there, and when you are coming back.

And, the 700 action will not fit into a XP-100 stock - it is too long.
 
The original XP-100 is a single-shot action, the XP-100R (Repeater) is basically a Model 7 action.
But both XP's are designated as handgun actions.
 
An XP is a fantastic gun. I bought a stock 223, put a Leupold 4x on it, and fell in love. That gun was just plain fun, no if ands or buts. Then, I traded that for a custom XP, from a well known benchrest smith, and it was just unbelievable. This one I put a 6.5x20 Leupold on, and was amazed. The day to day consistency is second to none. I'm sure this took me to the benchrest game, cause the accuracy was nothing I had seen before.

I started building my own guns for benchrest, and worked on my own XPs. Bought a 35 Remington bone stock, pulled it apart, put a Hart 22 caliber barrel on in 22BR, mounted in a Lee Six stock. Wow, absolute death on prairie dogs!

Shooting one is a bit different, takes some getting used to and the method, but once in place, they are great. I always favored he center grip, just for the sake of keeping things as they were, but many like the rear grip. No question the rear grip gives the trigger option a wide open field, but you can adjust a stock trigger down to a manageable break.

I only have one now, custom barrel in 221 Fireball for the nostalgia thing, but don't be fooled, the 221 is great.
