Great idea. I stumbled onto this site looking for re-chambering ideas for an XP100, was looking to make it a Varminter of sorts.

I live in Cape Town, South Africa - so a little further away than most. Have been shooting and hunting for the last 13 years.

It was only after I started shooting silhouette competatively that I was introduced to handgun hunting. First buck taken with a handgun 4 years ago and haven't used a long gun since. In fact sold all of them except my 416 Rigby. Now there are some 14 Handguns in the safes.

Most of my hunting has been done with an 8mmJDJ. Some with T/C in 30-30 and when I am feeling like hard work there is a little Ruger GP100.

I must confess that some of the above inventories are enough to make me drool. I would definitely add more understanding fire arms laws to my christmas wish list, as it is becoming a royal pain in the butt trying to apply for additional firearm licenses (they don't understand "I just want it" as sufficient motivation).
