Bud, Don't let your friend DESTROY another XP to build a rifle! Get it from him if you have to buy him an action! If he shoots it a bit in it's original 7BR chambering, you pprobably won't have to talk him out of destroying it......he'll be hooked! GHD

I also have the same in 223. Had the 221 and sold it. I'd like to have one in the 7BR. also. Friend bought a 7 BR. a couple months ago for $300. And it is nice, he bought it for the action and I think I have him talked out of doing that for now... Like you guys were saying you just about only see the 221 any more.
