I have got NO load work done for any of them

I will not buy any more....unless someone makes me..... Like they did on the 35 rem. I had NO choice

......and i dont love my TCs one tiny bit less

I'm a Remington rifle fanatic so I've wanted a XP for years but haven't pulled the trigger for one yet. I know how the addiction goes. I had one contender frame and two barrels for 25 years then two years ago I got a 22 Hornet barrel and started groundhog hunting with a pistol. Now I have 2 frames and 14 barrels and just have to have one of the new SSK-50 frames.

In an effort to help out a fellow member I am willing to let you send me your choice of the two extra XP-100s you have. Rest assured they will be given a good home

I appreciate.....but ill struggle thru

In case anyone needs to know how to get aged duct tape/glue off.....
Acetone is your best friend.

Wd 40 also works well for the stuff

I’ve had the honors of shooting the 243 Advanced Weapons Technology build. Talk about a sweet gun! That’s when I started realizing I need a bolt pistol.
.....yes I said “need”

Also got to shoot the 223.... I’m privileged

If you're gonna deer hunt w/ one this year, 'ya better hurry!
I bought my first XP 25 years ago for prairie dog hunting, but continued to use my Contenders and a Striker for deer hunting until about 5 years ago when I bought an XP in 7-08 .....I've been using the XP's (yes, that is pleural) ever since. You will survive.

Acetone is some pretty wicked stuff. I'm surprised it didn't melt the zytel stock.

Jon

I kinnda had a bit of concern on that also. Did some google searching and decided to go. At worst, i would have had to bought another take off and theh are usually cheap. It did fine.

That plastic must be tougher and made from better material than I thought.

Jon

Those are very nice SP’s
My 223 Varmint Special XP loves XBR 8208 and the 53 V-max because they have a 12 twist.You have got all the bases covered with those chamberings.Varmints to Elk are gonna be in big trouble,enjoy the addition
Matt

Kyode they are addictive.

Until I started thinning the herd I had four center grip XP's....I'm down to one now chambered in 7mmBR.

Traded off the old redfield 2-6 and put on this nikon 2.5-8. Hope it goes the long haul. Ill be shooting this thing before you know it.

Beautiful gun!!


I’ll buy it right now for what you have in it.

I bet you wont.

If it doesn't have to be an XP, there's a striker in .243 win. that needs to do more than just sit in my safe...lets talk.

I’d love too but I’m in knee deep in a contender build. Just bought a victory pistol and volquartsenized it. Sent some wood to bullberry to have a grip and forearm made. Not to mention my 3 vacations this year... I could keep going but I’m trying not to think about it. I’m financially embarrassed at the moment.

I know your pain very well. But, it's a wonderful pain. I have three myself. A 6BR, 7BR, and a Bayside 30BR. Guess I am going to have to locate a 35 Rem.


Mike

I can relate, I keep telling myself I dont need a second 7BR, havent even shot the first but a local has one for sale at a very, very good price. Keep looking to see if it has sold and it is still there. The angel says you dont need to, the devil says go get it.
