that is a fine looking combo, and in a terrific caliber to boot.

Hey now, that thing is purty.

Can the 250 Savage run at full pressure in the Contender? Or are you planning on throttling it back?

I'm a sucker for a 25 cal.

I've been shooting factory level ammo through it for over 20 years. Got my first barrel(pistol) back in '89. Haven't had any issues to date.

Fore end is from high plains, stock is a vintage high grade factory stock off ebay.

Hmm, that's interesting. I'm always bringing home stray .25 cal rifles...

That's a pretty little gun, and a great caliber too!

Sweet.

I have a .223 Rem carbine with a lot of miles on it. Great around the gentleman's farm for varmints. Sierra #1400 & IMR 4198 - classic load.

What a gorgeous rig! I'd be hesitant to take it out of the safe for fear of scuffing that stock set ha ha.

Beautiful firearm and I really like the 25 calibers.
