No, they're rifle scopes. The very effective muzzle brakes allow the use of the much better glass and features of rifle scopes.

You should Doug! And keep shooting the Contenders. Got my start in the world of handgun hunting with a Contender 7-30 Waters (although I dabbled in pistol hunting squirrels prior to that with a Ruger MkII).

Dry nice. Those pistols are starting to gain my interest. Curious to what bullet and MV do you get in that setup?

 

[Buttermilk]

I've not yet shot the bottom gun as I just picked it up from gunsmith last night. I expect it to do similar to the top gun.

The top one with the Alpine Ambush stock has a Bartlein 5R 18.5" 416R barrel. With Berger 210 VLDH bullets I'm getting right at 2825 fps. Barrel has not sped up yet as I don't have very many rounds down the tube yet.

I think this is really peaking my interest. This might be my new project. LR pistol elk. That's pretty cool.

Hit up @Ernie Bishop for McMillan stocks. He's who I've gotten mine from.

The XP-100's are becoming less abundant (likely because Ernie has them all lol), but are out there if you're willing to pay the price for them.

I started with one, and now I'm up to five XP's. Never thought I'd have that many…

Addictive doesn't come close to describing the XP-100 disease.

My chamberings include 7mm RSAUM, 7mm-08 Rem, 6x47 Lapua, and 30 Nosler.

I have one or two XP-100 McMillan center grip stocks on hand that are not taken
