Easy one, though I can't remember the model number, though I will have to gig you points on part of your comment.

The only pistol Remington made in the modern era was a single-shot, bolt-action target/hunting piece most commonly chambered in .223, though it has also been seen from the factory in .221 Fireball, .22-250 and *drumroll* 6mm PPT (among others). As to performance characteristics, can't say much as it is out of my area, but I would assume that it is a nice, flat-shooting small-bore well suited to varminting and target shooting that this gun is designed for.

As to your comment on Remington, I point you to the Remington New Model Army, Remington Dragoon, Remington Double Derringer and the many other revolvers Remington made during the cap and ball era. Remington was very big on handgun design and made some great guns. In the modern era, sure, the XP-100 (looked it up) is the only thing Rem's offered, but such a blanket statement, tsk. =)
