XP-100 and heavy bbl

[jpretle]

Is a 26" Rem Varmint contour bbl, too heavy for the XP-100 receiver??

Nope, not at all, it's a pretty solid platform, especially with a .250 recoil lug....

We have a couple shooters compete at our club with them using 28 inch heavy varmint profile barrels and shoot very competitively

Ive had them on br cruisers with 1.250" straight barrels on em

I've got one in .257AI and Krieger 26" MTU bbl. Shoots like a dream. The XP-100 is one stiff little action. 8) I had the Smith check all dimensions for truing bolt & receiver and no machining necessary. Only negative is I need a "modified" popsicle stick to remove the bolt.

I gotn2 palma barrels for an xp action... a rem varmint is nothing...

Thank you all, for responding.
Having read some of the threads on this forum, there have been references to some extraction/ejection problems when doing the change. So, I have the following question.

Will I experience any ejection problems in a 223 chambering, if the original Rem chambering is 221FB?
I cannot tell that there is a difference in the location of the extractor and ejector in the FB bolt, vs, same in a 223 bolt.
