Me too, right up until I saw the price tag. $2500

What's the point of the 24 Nosler? Ballistics are not impressive.

Fotis: Wow that is a handsome and interesting looking "pistol"! I am going to read up on those two Nosler calibers. If I were a millionaire (and hope to be someday!) I would like to try my hand with one of them for Antelope Hunting. And for the Remington XP-100 and T/C single shot pistol "naysayers" I say "nay" to them. I have both a T/C pistol in 223 Remington (with Burris 3x9) and an early model Remington XP-100 in 223 Remington (with 10 power Burris scope) - the accuracy of both pistols I describe as simply amazing! Both have SUPERB triggers and are so handy that I highly recommend them. These pistols are just a barrel of convenient fun and easily concealable in vehicles when the rare need be. One of my Mt. Goat Hunting partners bought a Remington XP-100 in caliber 7m/m Remington Bench Rest and immediately had it reamed out to 7m/m 08 Remington! I was spotting over his shoulder when he killed a B/C Mt. Goat with it in SE Alaska! The convenience and light weight of that "pistol" really endeared us to its size and format. For those that wonder about a "pistol" in a Rifle type caliber I say give one a try - they have lots of attributes and few detriments. Hold into the wind VarmintGuy

Me too. I always wanted an XP100, but never got around to buying one. You still can.

I find the Contender more "handy" than the XP or Savage Striker rigs. But the bolt rigs are cool. If I got one it'd be for varmints.
