This may be a dumb question but how do you take the bolt out of a rem xp100? What are your opinions of this gun? I have had the use of one that seems to be a shooter and am thinking of buying it. any comments or suggestions welcome.

orland, the bolt release is on the left side of the bolt. You have to reach inside the receiver from the back next to the bolt with a small probe and push down on the bolt stop. I usually use my six inch scribe.

I have a couple of XP 100s and like them just fine. They're accurate and feel good in your grip. I also have an XP100R and it shoots great but is too nose heavy. The center grip is a little better balanced. If the price is right, jump on it. XP100s are like land, they don't make them anymore.

Jump on it if the price is right. I went for years wondering what in the hell do you need one for until I shot one a few years ago. Well, the one I shot came on the market after a couple of months, and I couldn't grab my wallet fast enough. They will truely impress you as to how far and how accurately they will shoot. Mine is in .223, sports a Fagen thumbhole stock, and I topped it off with a Weaver 2-8X scope. The sage rats aren't safe until they get over 500 meters, and then they don't want to stick around for round number two.
I piss some of the locals off at the gun club when they're shooting their 26" varmint rifles at a 100, and I'm putting together better groups than they are.

orland, ditto to all of the above, and then some.
The only thing I will warn you about the XP's is that sometimes they have the tendencey to multiply .

BTW I always wanted one. So now I ahve three and am working on #4

they do seem to multiply... I need to drive down to see Groundhog Devistation to pick up my 2nd one!!

Thanks all

This one is chambered for 221 rem fireball. With the exception of one scratch on the left side of the stock this one is like new condition. It is topped off with burris one piece base and burris rings with a 4-12x AO weaver rifle scope.
My first loads were 17 gr of 4198 under a 40 gr barns xlc and was grouping just over an inch at 100 yds. This was impressive to me coming from a pistol.
What price range should I expect for this gun?

Depending on how good the scope is, I'd say an excellent buy would be $500-$600, and a respectable buy would be $600-$700, but then I'm a bit of cheap skate.

It's only downfall is the caliber. A buddy of mine had one in the fireball, and the muzzle blast was almost unbearable, and it severely lacked the trajectory that I could get with my .223. Just my .02.

WOW $500-600!! He hasn't given a price yet but talked like he would let go much, much cheaper than that.

Thanks again
