The package series has the Axis style magazine, which is all plastic and several people have noted that the
On the plus side, the Trophy Hunter has a $75 rebate if you buy soon.
I've been doing some reading on it and it appears that you can retrofit the all-metal magazine system from a normal 11/110 to the XP. Research continues.
To change the magazine system from a plastic latch on the magazine to a metal latch on the "frame" you need:
Frame Assembly Long, Matte NBR (DBM) p/n 106706; $78
Trigger Guard Assembly, Matte RI p/n 107217; $26
Magazine Box - 110FC/ 111FC (25-06 Rem, 270 Win, 30-06, 7x57mm Mauser) Bottom Release Latch, Matte Blued p/n 55117; $52
Or plus $156 and shipping.
Bringing the tinkered cost of the rifle to $749.39 plus shipping on the parts.
OR for even more you can convert to AICS magazines with a Pacific Tool and Gauge trigger guard, just $152.75 for the guard and another $40 for a Magpul AICS compatible magazine.
OR for even more you can make a similar conversion using CDI Precision Gunworks (just down the road in Sarasota, FL!) $209 plus installation (free if you ship them your rifle). Hmmmm, I wonder if they'd let a blogger bring down a rifle for conversion and let him take pictures and ask questions as if he were the media or something...
I have the 111 Trophy Hunter XP (left handed) and I have a favorable opinion of it thus far. I think that I paid, after rebate and including sales tax, right around $500 for it last fall. Bought it to hunt elk with, have not got one yet, but that is why it is called hunting and not killing.
