Seems weird to put this in pistols... but it is what it is...

Only use I can think of here is as a basis for a .300blk SBR bolt gun

Kinda neat to see a new take on an old concept. I know lots of guys that long range handgun hunt with XP100’s. I always liked the savage striker better since it had a left handed action and seemed better for running the bolt since you can keep your right hand on the grip.

I think Nosler does it better, but then again I think the XP100 was not only more attractive, but probably more ergonomic than something with an AR15 pistol grip bolted on.

The Nosler, for anyone who might be curious. http://www.nosler.com/nosler-handgun

All it needs is a SB Tactical adjustable brace and a M-LOK AFG and it'll be oh so GTG. Head shots galore! Zombies will DIE NOW, and DIE HARD!

Rather I think a straight-pull side-charger would be a better ("kewler") solution than a conventional turn-bolt, especially if the charging is done by the weak hand.

F’ugly.

I wonder if the back of the receiver is threaded so you can attach a pistol brace. Knowing Remington's poor decisions of late I doubt it.

Looks to be, as it's covered with a cap.

Why?

Seriously what role does this fill? If your going to add a brace why not just have a stock and keep it a rifle? I'm not getting what use this has. Not trying to be an ass, I really don't get it.

It's way too big to be shot one handed or carried as a pistol, and loses the control of being a rifle?

Handgun hunting / varminting and silhouette shooting. Remington has made the XP-100 for years in that category, as is the Thompson Center Contender, and as noted above, the Nosler.

Typically they are shot from a rest, tripod, shooting sticks, or have a bipod attached.

The TC Contender is nice as it has the ability to quick change barrels. I have a friend who has one with barrels in .22 LR, .223, .35 Remington and .44 magnum. The hammer has a reversible face on it to convert from rimfire to centerfire. The arguable benefit of this new offering from Remington is that it isn't a single shot or break action, which would be particularly nice for handgun varminting when you are typically shooting prone.

As an actual legitimate use, I've seen some people who, for health reasons, can't shoot hunting rifles, but use pistols like this with a bipod or rest for hunting.

I've also seen people use them as a way to "game the system" and hunt with what is essentially a rifle during extended hunting seasons that prohibit the use of rifles (e.g., many states have periods before or after the main deer hunting season that only allow bows, crossbows, and pistols).

The county I formerly lived in had a blanket restriction on rifles for big game hunting for decades. I gamed the system with a T/C Encore single shot pistol in 30-06 and a Remington XP-100R (bolt action repeater with blind box magazine) in .35 Rem.
I even had a Game Warden freak out about the XP-100R. He thought it was a SBR.
He couldn't believe it was a handgun. I asked him if he wanted to see my pistol license.
He declined.
I would love one of those fugly new 700 pistols!

I wish the bolt handle was on the left hand side.
Easier for a righty to cycle the bolt.

I always had eyes for the Weatherby MkV pistol.

Pistols of this nature are excellent for those who have a shoulder injury that precludes the use of a rifle in normal circumstances.

Having had a damaged shoulder, handgun hunting was a viable option for me.

Interesting offering from Remington.

Have a Rem 700R in 7-08, Thompson Encore handgun in 243 & 223.

When our county was "shotgun only" for deer hunting, pistols were allowed.
I always used my XP100R, in 7mm-08, that was built in their custom shop, before they sold the crappy, production models.
The gun would shoot 1" groups at 200 yards. I don't think I ever took a deer at less than 200 yards.
Now, our county allows rifles, so I have the pistol up for sale locally, because it doesn't fit in the original box with the Burris scope mounted, and ammo is going with it.

I came up with 8 or 9 companies just off the top of my head that have made bolt action "technical pistols", and that's not even getting into the smaller custom boutique builders. Nothing new here, don't blame us if you've been under a rock for the last 50 years.

Why? Fun.

I understand the niche a bolt action pistol like this might fill. What I don't get is the addition of the detachable magazine and modular rail. That stuff just seems unnecessarily "tacticool." Still, it's kind of neat anyway.

They're fun is why. Here's my XP100 in 7mmBR. It's accurate as all get out and a fire breather! Bought new in '94 and replaced the factory stock with this Fajen. Scope is a Burris 2-7x32 LER Plex. I use a B-Square a2000 adjustable length monopod with interchangeable heads (hiking ball, Y fork shooting rest, 1/4" threaded camera mount).

Arc has a Dominator kit for a 1911. Really cool (although I can't find a pic of his) and loads of fun.



Closest thing I have to a pistol with a bolt would be a Desert Eagle.

^^ No Lone Eagle? I always kinda wondered why those didn't take off a bit more than they did.

So like a Gibbz side charging AR without a gas tube?
