T/C Contender vs Encore

[E.Shell]

Yup, old thread.

Nice looking pistol Gemihur.

I have a couple G1 frames and 8-10 barrels left, as well as just about every kind of grip and forend T/C ever made for it. I had a 16-1/2" 7-30 Waters sporter-weight barrel, but sold it. I had a Super-14 in .35 Rem that was extremely accurate and a 10" .30 Herrett heavy barrel, so I almost never shot the Waters. I haven't had any them out in decades, I should probably round that stuff up and sell it...

Back again to sample the aging wine
The 7-30 Waters has won over more shooters to the contender than any other cartridge
They're all fun, tho
Here's a chunky buck buster

That statement rings a bell. Last two times I had mine out was 15 years ago to hunt squirrels (22LR Match barrel) and 3 years later at a ‘Critters’ match in Monocacy. I’ll be using it this spring in LR Silhouette (7 TCU).
