It may be my search-fu is out of whack but I couldn't find a contender photo thread so here we are. contenders, encore pistols, barrels, game taken by contender, or just post what you want as long as it's contender/encore pistol related.
The contender in the pic is my current setup at the moment. It is a 44mag super 16 with a TC 2.5 power illuminated reticle scope on top. I sighted in at 80 yards and with my current light handloads with a 200gr Speer JHP are on target from 40 to 100 and hit a touch low on either end. With factory "bear hunting" loads it's very very unpleasant but with light loads it's a blast. I am in the process of building a shoulder stock for it and am looking for more barrels in lighter, cheaper calibers.
