Savage bolt action handgun

[Lonesome Dove]

Well they brought it back. Totally different but here it is. https://savagearms.com/content?p=firearms&a=product_summary&s=57797

I see a few things i don't like.

6.5 creedmoor with a 10" barrel- too short for that round.

Left hand bolt for right hand eject? Kinda forces you to actually use it as a pistol.

Kinda interesting though.

It's technically a real pistol/ handgun and not an SBR or a so called AR pistol.
It's for hunting and target.
Savage, Remington, Weatherby, Desert Eagle, H&S precision have all made them. It does come in a few calibers.

6.5 CREEDMOOR
223 REM
300 AAC BLACKOUT
308 WIN
350 LEGEND

And there's no point in the least for me.

What's the application for a bolt action pistol? I'm not really getting it.

Remington XP-100. I believe Remington quit making them back in the 90's.

I prefer the T/C guns but would buy a Weatherby if I could find the right caliber at a decent price.

That's exactly how I feel about Glocks and Remington rifles.

Hey, some people like different guns and you're not obligated to buy one...or two.

Do I want one?

No, but if you do, ok by me...

Time to break out the H4895 and put together some "60% of max" loads. If you're adventurous, cast bullets atop SR4759 should be fun.

Left hand bolt for right hand eject? Kinda forces you to actually use it as a pistol.

If someone actually intends to use it, that's the best configuration for most people.

Personally, even though my best bolt pistol is left bolt, left eject for right-handers, I'm right-handed and prefer the right bolt, right eject of the XP for competition use. The key to using that configuration efficiently is to remove the bolt stop but fully explaining that technique is wandering a bit off-topic.

Target shooters and hunters.

My Bushmaster .50 BMG has a left hand bolt...I kinda like it......

Bought my Son one of the Remington pistols in .308....no left hand bolt.....but with a brace and ACOG it's another tool he carries in the trunk of his unit.....

I remember my father having an XP-100 in the early 1970's. Can't recall what cartridge it was in though.
