A nice Contender carbine

My carbine in 250 savage on a HHI flatside frame.

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.

Beauty! High Plains wood?

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.

They sure do match up nicely!

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.

Excellent looking contenders!

Very nice!

Beautiful firearm and I really like the 25 calibers.
