7mm-08 Striker, not an X-P. Kirby did some work on it and just starting to load for it. Shot 1 1/4 MOA 1st time out, had never shot a specialty handgun before, I'm hooked. Watch out Muley's to 300 yds, great horseback gun.

Once u get it broke in, 300 yd. mulies will be DRT every shot, no doubt. If APS built it, it'll do better than that.
I've got an interesting project going. I'm reworking my Savage Striker 243 WSSM. I'm gonna rebarrel to a 6-RSAUM, and as soon as i can get a Unertl BV-20 I'm gonna put it on top, for a long-range coyote sniper. The bullet itself got this all started-- the 117 gr. DTAC polymer tip with .6 BC. Whhhoeee--can't wait.

Chunk will be doing it, since he's right around the corner. Don't know what TR to use. I'll need to call David Tubb to find out i guess.

Jim,
H-S Precision makes a bolt action SP (Total handgun), and some other action companies make actions that are suitable for an XP style SP. One minor issue with buying a action other than a old style Xp action (single-shot dog-leg bolt handle) is that you will need to find a trigger linkage, which may need to be modified to fit.
If you build it into a rear-grip configuration you can use a number of triggers. My personal preference is center-grip though.
