Not sure where to best post this but I'll start here,
I have a TC Contender in "Carbine" configuration
( Have the Pistol stock also but that's not where the question lies)
I am limited to shooting at an indoor range with a max 25 Yard range
and limited to "pistol" Calibers.
I want to shoot the TC Contender in carbine fashion
From a bench rest
For accuracy
With my own Handloaded Ammo.
Intend to use a "good" scope
Thought I might try to do this in .44 Rem Magnum
but
Looking at available ( used) "long = 16" plus)TC Barrels in 44 Magnum -
I can NOT find ANY.
Now I know I can order one new ( I can afford it) from TC - and others
BUT
The fact that I can find NONE out there, I'm starting to wonder if they are not around because it is a "bad idea".
Is .44 Magnum a poor choice for a > 16" plus Barrel to be used at 25 Yards ??
What ( "Pistol Calibers - mind you") might be a better choice ??
What would be a "Good - but reasonably priced" scope?
Mind you it needs to be adjustable to focus at 25 Yards ( I think this means an "Adjustable Objective")
