Thanks Handgun. I like a 165 gr BTSP with H4895. Real accurate though I haven't shot anything with it.

I don't have one for you, but I will keep my eyes open for one. They do show up from time to time.

I will also swing by my local pawn shop. Last time I was in there (which was a while ago, I will admit) they had a Contender with a .35 Rem barrel for sale. If they still have it, I am sure you could work a good deal with them.

Lot's of good choices mentioned. I see you've settled on a Contender frame. Have you settled on a cartridge/chambering for your first barrel yet? (yes, there will be more )

i think im goin with either a 30-30AI or 7x30 waters

 

[Darrell H]

You will be well served with either chambering. I have a 14" 30-30 AI and a 15" 7-30 Improved. I'm shooting 150 grain bullets in the 30-30 AI at 2400 fps into sub MOA groups. The 7-30 Improved spits out 120's at 2600 fps and is unbelievably accurate.

I would second what Darrell said ... 30/30 AI or 7/30 Waters would be hard to beat in a Contender format. I have three 7/30's and two 30/30's .... JAMES

Dude, that sucks.

The great thing about the Contender format though is that you can build in stages. By the frame, barrel and furniture all separately and spaced out and it isn't as big of a hit to the wallet each time.

I hope you find a new job soon.

 

[Eddy M.]

good luck on the job search

Use a 17 Ackley Hornet and shoot them behind the ear LOL 35 Remington hard to beat.
