How about a .308 Chassis Pistol?

Remington broke ground on the concept of a handgun with the heart of a bolt-action rifle back in the 1960s with the XP-100, long before there was such a thing as the TC Encore or similar designs.

The XP100 in the 1960s was advertised as the “World’s Hottest Handgun”

Flash forward to this year and the company has both the 40-XP, which is just another name for the XP-100, as well as the more interesting (and obtainable) Model 700 Chassis Pistol.

Now that’s spicy: the CP today. (Photo: Chris Eger/Guns.com)

Chambered in 300 Blackout, .223 Remington and .308 Winchester with an overall length of less than 22-inches, these bolt pistols make great bench guns or, after a Form 1, coupled with a stock, decent but rugged glass, and a heavy can (they are suppressor-ready) to give you a great brush gun or backpack gun that can still thump out at distance.
