Rem Handgun
I see they have a 700 in a handgun format.
Saw it
on Guns and Ammo TV but can't find it on their site. Huh
Interesting
Just bought a Rem. XP-100 in 35 REm. Going to have Gary rechamber to 358 Win.
the older guy apparently isn't up on handguns. He
seemed amazed that a handgun could be in a rifle caliber. The Remington rep should have enlightened him that the XP-100 came in 223, 35 Remington and 221 Fireball.
My first XP was in 7BR
And had that god-awful brown plastic stock. The LGS guys called me “Buck Rogers” for a while.
my first one was in the late 60s and in 221 Fireball. I had
a problem hitting groundhogs way out there with it, so I eventually rechambered it to 223. That gave me an extra 80 yards or so which wasn't good enough so I re-barreled it to 224 Weatherby and made a custom stock for it. That gave me the distance. The only problem was optics. The best we had back then was the Bushnell Magnum Phantom in 2.5X power. I eventually switched to a 3X9 rifle scope and made sure not to get too close to the scope. When Burris came out with their handgun scopes I eventually put the 10X handgun scope on it.

Knowing that I would probably be spending a ton of $$ on a Cape Buffalo on the African hunt this last March, I sold it to someone on here. Now they can have fun with it.
