    My 'Tenders


    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.
    It's better to shoot for the moon and hit the fencepost than to shoot for the fencepost and hit the ground!

    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.

    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.
