Many T/C barrels (some Encore) have come & gone but these two on the Contender platform, have outlasted them all.
In GA Jim Blk/Yellow; 7TCU MGM,Vortex, below SSK 45-70 wearing a Leupold 4x pistol scope. The 45-70 was the first caliber I was taught to handload on, holds a special place, (some 15+ calibers later) both more accurate then I am.

Yeah, GA Jim pcs. are nice. Also, I have these saved for my next Encore Pistol Build.

But those bolt actions are taking my $$ (thx Ernie)

Happy Shooting!

I really like the black and yellow set. Would be fitting on a K Hornet! (Kyode ;) )

IIRC Ga Jim made a run of black/yellow furniture for the SP group buy of .218 Bee barrels from OTT. I always think of Tigger when I see one of those sets.

I have a "Baby 'Tender" that is a Super 14 .44 Mag bobbed to 7-1/2" and recrowned by SSK. Why? Because I seldom shot the 14" barrel and this allowed it to be carried in a 6" revolver holster. Which I did a LOT when bowhunting and muzzleloading.

I like that octagon 7tcu barrel.Thanks, was a birthday present to myself, long ago. MGM made a nice one with an intregal brake machined into barrel end. OAL:16.25, another nice touch is their scope base with a matching bevels to contact bbl on 3 planes.
Shoots like a laser, and under .3moa.
130BTHP Sierras, or 120VMax Hornady. P-dogs to over 300yds (tho seemed best <300yds)
Vortex 4-16HST GAJim w/hangerbar.
