The XP-100’s single-shot Remington short action delivers precise lock-up, and the 1:14 right-hand twist stabilizes lightweight .221 Fireball bullets at high velocity. The integral ventilated rib not only reduces barrel weight but also provides factory screw holes that secure the included scope rail.
Remington’s brown marbled Zytel nylon stock features a distinctive center-grip design with molded finger grooves and checkered panels, giving the pistol balanced handling from the bench or the field. White diamond inlays highlight this first-generation stock style.
Constructed from blued chromoly steel, both barrel and receiver retain the strength and corrosion resistance that made these handguns popular among varmint hunters and silhouette competitors. Despite evident exterior wear, the bore remains bright, supporting continued accuracy potential.
Produced in 1968, this XP-100 represents the classic era of the model and remains desirable to shooters seeking an authentic early-production example complete with quality glass.
