You have reinvented the XP-100 at 3x-4x the price. WOO HOO! I'm excited! NOT. I didn't think it was possible, but they are even more ugly then my beloved old XP-100s.

But their new and improved. Like a bag of chips and you find out theres simply less in the bag than before.

YEP,
BUTT UGLY

I WANT ONE. Are they available in 7mm TCU ?

My DAD had one of the OLD XP-100's in 221 Fireball. It was a fun little gun. I had one in the early 1990's in .35REM. Sold it to buy MORE cowboy guns.

Thanks for the link Luckydawg. I woud just buy a used XP100 if I was into handrifles. Too bad NFA forbids making our own from existing inexpensive rifles.

I once owned an XP100 in .223 with a 14 inch barrel.

That was the ugliest, most unbalanced, and awkward firearm I ever owned. Sold it.

A Ruger Hawkeye Compact rifle with a 16" barrel would be far better, and a whole lot cheaper.

Looks a little awkward, and I think it would be better if the bolt was left handed, but that's just my opinion.

I got my PawPaw's rem XP-100 in .22-250 with a LER 3-12 Burris on it. Not crazy about it....but it reminds me of him.

UGLY! The colors have upset my stomach having just eaten dinner. If it was left either black or Rem. brown it might not be quite that terrible.Robert

All it takes is a $200.00 stamp and several months wait. Remington sells new 700 actions minus stock and barrel, no stamp needed as long as it is first assembled as a handgun and never has a stock and sub-16" barrel at the same time.

LOL I almost want one
I have 2 XP 100's
#1 is a 221 Fireball with a new 223 barrel
#2 is a 7 BR

I may sell the 7 BR one of these days
As I have not shot IHMSA in a number of years

But if Ohio would allow handgun hunting for deer with a bottle neck round
The Nosler pistol in 7-08 or 308 would be a nice choice .... maybe Flat OD Green or Flat Mud Brown

The most accurate handgun I ever fired was a 7mm BR XP-100. Unbelievably accurate. If you need to hunt postage stamps, that is the gun to have.

I think I’ll stick with my contender.

Muzzel break ? my xp is in 7mm IHMSA and IMO recoils like a 44 mag revolver, accuracy is under a inch @200 yards
But im used to the recoil of the 44 mag's & FA 454 Casull's that I also have.

still left-handed.
bolt pistols never excited me....especially way over-priced.

WAY over priced for me.

I’ll buck the trend. I really like it. May have to save my coins and get a creedmoor

I think it looks cool.

IDK what I’d do with one, except maybe IHMSA.

Of all the guns out there that are ugly as sin (cough Glock cough) you guys think that thing is ugly? It looks cool as hell. Sure it's not blued steel and wood and doesn't have that classic beauty that most on this site love, but it has a very nice modern look to it.

The only thing ugly is the price.

i think its better looking than a encore, or contender. heck, color can be changed easily enough. i wouldnt pay the asking price for one though.

Perfect combination. UGLY gun, STUPID caliber and WAY overpriced to boot. What's not to love?:twisted:

Is it a wanna be rifle or a wanna be pistol? Looks to me like a neutered rifle. I just don't get it with these chopped up rifles. Each to his own, just not my cup of tea.

Now if Nosler would just start making the .45 260 and 300gr Partitions again!!

I have a friend who mounted a .458 Win Mag on an XP-100 action. He shot it about 3 times, then sold it! Can't say as I blame him...he had an awesome flinch when he shot it!

I think looks wise, it's okay, for a modern gun. The MSRP is laughable.

Well, whatever blows your dress up. I can appreciate the likely accuracy to be mined from such a handgun, but I have other things to spend $2500 on. Other folks will feel otherwise, and that is the beauty of this hobby field.

Hey, its a bolt action pistol. It will never look as good as a Python or an N frame S&W, but as they say. different strokes for....... Wonder what it would look like in a shoulder rig LOL

Like they say "its the man behind the machine".
I love my Contenders, the range is a lil shorter though.

EDIT- Bob Milek would be proud.

Yes indeed he would. Bob loved the challenge of hand gun hunting and between he and Elmer Keith, I was challenged at an early age to give it a go. The success you have with a handgun is somehow a little sweeter to me. Noslers gun is probably a real masterpiece of gunsmithing but I prefer a more traditional approach. Not prejudging the gun, for once I'm glad I cant afford it.

I find it somewhat attractive, the price? not so much:shock:

No thanks. If I wanted a handrifle I could either buy or build a Savage Striker.

I like like my XP-100 in 7 mm br.

AND I want the Nosler, just not the price😳😳

think I'll saw 9 inches off my stock and graft a hand grip on it. Would be about the same. That sir is neither hand gun nor rifle ( to big for 1 hand to short to shoulder) it's an abomination. That just my observation, now where can I get one?

I always kinda liked the xp100, but this dosent float my boat. Painted aluminum stock, ar grips, 6# weight!! That thing weighs more than my Kimber84, and I bet a 13inch 6Creedmore would be brutally LOUD. Nope not even for 249$, now an Exemplar in 22LR would be quite intetesting! Just my opinion, and we know what opinions are like.
