[QUOTE="Ernie, post: 438056, member: 13"] I like center-grips myself. I have owned a Striker in the past-good accuracy, but the trigger, even after upgrading to a Basix was nowhere close to what you can do with a XP. It was quickly sold. Are you going to use your current 35 Rem XP to make this build? Adding weight (heavy barrel), aftermarket stock, and a good muzzle brake is key to allowing yourself to spot your own shots. Cartridge selection is another thing. You are wanting to tag a deer out to 500 yards. With LR cartridges in mind you will lose about 250-300 fps compared to that same cartridge in a rifle length barrel. Jim See does great work. In fact, there are several accuracy gunsmiths who do very good work with center-grip XP-100's. Here are my two latest center-grip XP's: 7mm SAUM (Short Action Ultra Mag) built by Chuck McIntosh Mac's Gunworks [IMG]http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j4/xphunter_2006/IMG_5150.jpg[/IMG] 338AX or Allen Xpress (338 Lapua Improved), built by Kirby Allen [IMG]http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j4/xphunter_2006/338AX2.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
