Howdy all!
Well, I've been debating a new hunting arm, and we have a couple Remington XP-100's in the store. I always thought they were awkward for a handgun, and practically innacurate compared to a rifle, but after handling it, I have to admit that I really like the feel!
In light of this, I have two questions:
1. What are the advantages/disadvantages of one of these "hand-rifles" in terms of the uses as listed below?
2. I would like to get as versatile a caliber for the animals that I plan to hunt as I possibly can. I plan to hunt varmints, hogs, and possibly some deer in the future. I figure that the .243 would be a good compromise, but does anyone have any other ideas? What would the max-range be with a handgun like the XP-100 and would I be better off just getting a varmint rifle like a Remington VLS? (It would be much less comfy to carry around!)
P.S.-- I already have a Rifle in .308 (Savage 10FP) and .30-06 (Ruger M77), so I don't need to fill those niches.
Thanks everyone!
