repeater with the grip all the way back under the stock, in .223 Remington caliber at 100 yards, 200 yards?

I only have TC pistols.  Got two after shoulder surgery and doc told me not to shoot again.  Learned to shoot left handed.  Don't have an XP-100 but a couple of friends do.  I can tell you one thing about shooting these long range pistols, with a solid hold they are as accurate as any bolt ation deer rifle I have.  I designed a shooting rest that uses a pint sized bean bag at the front, on top of a 14" strip of plywood 48" long.  Each end of the plywood strip is on a solid brace, with the bean bag near the foward end.  I nest my pistol in the bean bag until the windage is perfect, then with my arm over the plywood strip, I lean into the strip to create a bow.  The bow raises my point of impact.  I have found that my large muscles do not quiver like my arm and hand, and I can achieve a rock solid hold using my body while leaning into the plywood strip.  Hope this paints a clear picture for you.  I shoot deer from a box stand with my 7-30W beyond 150 yrds with no problem.  Would not hesitate to shoot farther.

I don't know what kind of accuracy you can expect, but I can tell you what kind of accuracy my dad's single-shot XP-100 in 7mm BR gets...
'Cept if I told ya', you'd think I was making it up.  But I reckon I'll tell ya', anyhow...
Suffice it to say that it is the most accurate firearm of any kind that I have ever shot.  It will put bullet after bullet into one ragged hole at 100 yards.  That ragged hole doesn't measure a whole lot larger in diameter than the .284" diameter of the bullets that formed it.   I've persoanlly shot groups with it that I couldn't stick the bullet of a .303 Brit round through without enlarging the hole.
If Remington ever makes them again, I'll be fighting my way to the head of the line to buy one.

i have a rem.XP-100R in .260 rem with a 2.5x8 leupold eer and with harris bipods on it, it shoots like a rifle. 5 inch groups at 300yds are not uncommon with factory ammo. eastbank.

I shot one in 7BR and one in 708 out to 500 meters with iron sight gun company sights in competition for several years. With out a doubt it is one of the most accurate guns built right out the box . I had one in 223 with a scope that at 100 yards delivered one small hole at 200 never missed a ground hog but don't remember shooting at paper that far.
 one thing I was shown and praticed was to place a thick pcs. of card between the forearm part of the stock and the bbl. as the plastic stock would sometimes touch the bbl. Remove it to shoot but re install for storage. Trains the stock not to touch the bbl.
If ya can see it ya can hit it !
