three contenders got a good cleaning today.

as the wife was away and i was caught up on lawn work, i decided to go over my three contenders. top is a encore in .308- middle is a encore in 45-70- bottom is a G1 contender in 375 JDJ. as i had cleaned them after hunting season last year, they were in good shape and only needed the dust cleaned out of their bores and wiped down. they all are very good shooters with the loads they like.

All great cartridge choices !

Seems like they would pack quite a wallop on the shoulder. Do they even weigh 6lbs?

they come in from 7.5 p to 7.9 p scoped.

Worst kicking rifle I have ever owned was a Contender in 45-70. I sold it quicker than I bought it.
