This is my do-all, kill anything favorite single shot handgun perched in one of my favorite hunting spots. It's a XP-100 that's been fully tricked by Kirby Allen. And being unfortunate enough to be legal game and standing within 1/3 of a mile will generally make you famous on the internet.

Other than the Encore's I posted elsewhere. These are my favorite single shots. The Striker has a magazine for 2 cartridges, but I use it mostly as a single shot. XP100 in 221 Fire Ball Savage Striker in 243 Winchester XP100 in 35 Remington

I'm not a single shot guy but I always liked the look of those mid-gripped laminated XP's. Only one I've ever fired was an original in 221 Fireball on a badger & a couple pheasants. NICE shooting Slinger! Hawkeye's is real purty!

Here is my current favorite for 1,000 yard matches. Tricked XP, Brux barrel, chambered in 6.5-284. Very accurate rig, even at one thousand yards. Also made my longest pd connection-1800 yards with this set-up, except it had the Krieger barrel on it then.

I have a couple of MOA's and they shoot quite well also: First is Erik with his buck and the second is a cold bore three-shot group at 500 yards off of a bipod. I will post a pic of the 338AX tomorrow with the Huskemaw scope on it.

Here's a Contender wearing a 14" 30-30 AI barrel. It's sitting on a little 8pt I shot last November here in Wisconsin.

CG, I think the 30-30AI is one of the better cartridges for the Contender/G-2 platform-Good shooting!

Pics aren't great (didn't want to go outside), but here is some of the 338 Allen Xpress (338 Lapua Magnum Improved) with the 5-20 LR Huskemaw Scope. Bullets: 265 grain Henson Aluminum Tip Ultra Low Drag and the other is a 250 NAB.

That looks to be a SERIOUS long range pistol!! It better be..I will start shoot one and clean beginning next week. I have a few 250 grain NAB's that Kirby sent me and then I will use some odd lot 300 grain SMK's for the barrel break-in. Plan to use Retumbo with the 300's and H-1000 with the 265 HAT's.

Bingo, Always been an odd-duck Truth be known, the recoil from some of the more intense revolvers is far greater than anything I shoot in my braked specialty handguns.

I believe it Ernie. My single shot experience is fairly limited. A couple Contenders (357 Max, 222, 44, 7-30, 45-70), 1 Lone Eagle (7-08), 1 Competitor (30-06), & an XP in 221. Not all mine mind you. A bad experience w/Bullberry & Iowa is straight wall cases only. Put me into the revolver class after that. A Competeitor or XP are on my "some day" list. Love looking at these pics until then.
