    I'm carrying a 14 inch 44 mag for short range work up to 100 yards and a 14 inch 7-30 Waters for longer yardage shots both on original Contender frames. And yes if I'm in open woods I do carry both the 44 in an Uncle Mike's shoulder hostler and the 7-30 in my back pack.

    If I carry the contender this year it will be with the 357 magnum barrel. It shoots great out to (and past)100 yards.

    Well, I cannot post an image for some reason…..I got my 4x4 with a SSK customized 14” Contender in 30 Herrett.

    Yesterday evening at last light I got this buck with the Contender in 30/30 ai. I’ll verify sight-in now with the G2 6.8 SPC and carry it during the next outings.

    First year I didn't spend the day in my long range stand with the 15 inch 7x444 (Alpo) Encore. My first long range hand cannon was a 30 Alaskan built by Don Bower. Lots of memories and lots of long range deer. Kids made me stop climbing and the big guns hurt my arthritic hands.

    7x444 Alpo”

    I’d forgotten all about the Alpo cartridges. A little history to refresh my memory, please
