Why did Remington quit the XP100? I would love to have one in a 22-250. On the other hand why doesn't Savage make a 22-250 in the Striker?
Is there anyone with accuracy reports or owner of either one to let me know the scoop.

Does these pistols require different loads than rifles?

I have had my xp 100 for over 15 years.
Being one who likes to joke with people, ever year I would take the fireball to the range for the annual pre-deer season check up. Most of the time I would get lucky and set next to some one who thought that their rifle could shoot. When a cease fire was called every one was checking targets, me included. I would shake me head and say," damm, you know it's a bad day when your pistol out shoots your own rifle", and of course they are going to look. There you are with all five rounds touching in one neat little hole.Shaking your head and never smiling. Works every time!
Yes the xp 100 will shot and I will never be able to shoot the pistol to it's max.
By the way it's one of my collection that is never for sale.

I have a Rem. XP in 7m/m Rem. That has been all tweaked out for shooting IHMS. I have been kicking the idea around about selling it, it isn’t anything like the factory jobs though.
I must admit they do shoot up a storm. I have over $700 in this one with a laminates custom stock cantilevered custom scope mount, aluminum bolt shroud, titanium fast fall firing pin, glass beded and a titanium muzzle brake.
 
The solid bottom XP100s are much more desireable than the repeaters. They are getting harder to find because so many of them have been converted into bench rifles. Every one I have encountered has been amazingly accurate.

The only other way to get a single shot Remington action is to spend over $1000 more for a 40X. And the quality is better on the old XP100s.

As dumb as this sounds, Remington quit making the XP's because they did not want to get into any of the handgun law suits. It will never be available again unless this type of law changes. Good luck.
 
Well Jack you bring up a variation of something that I've been kicking around for a little while now. Is it legal to convert a handgun into a rifle? I know that there used to be a problem with doing this, did the TC lawsuite clear this illogical problem up. The reason that I ask this question is that I've been lookin' at the savage striker with visions of making a bench gun out of one. The left handed bolt and the right handed port is mighty appealing to me (yes I'm gifted with a working knowledge of my left hand) and this last Varmint hunter magazine had an article about one in 300 wsm, these things are in a single shot form, so they should be stiff enough. I can imagine myself with one of these. I'd whoop off the barrel, stick on a real barrel in 223 WSSM or 6mm WSSM, stock it in some solid bench stock, slapp on one of those aftermarket triggers and shoot some mighty little groups with it. What do ya' ll think about that.

Any handgun can be converted into a rifle. Just be sure you convert both the barrel and the stock at the same time. I am sure the minimum barrel length for a rifle is 16". I think the minimum overall length is 26", but would not swear to that measurement.

The good result of T/Cs supreme court decision, is that you can now convert an original handgun, converted to a rifle, back to a handgun. That is as long as it was never transferred to another owner as a rifle. If ever, at any time, transferred as a rifle, it can never be converted back to a handgun.

For shotguns, the minimum barrel is 18", and minimum 26" overall.
