Hand Rifles

[twohats]

I really enjoy shootin my TC Contenders(Hand Rifles as my buddy calls them).Just wondering how many of you guys do the same..

[Sam Dunham]

I used to. I had a 357 Herett, 44 mag and 223. I liked the Herett best. I made my own brass from 30-30. I started Bowhunting and sold them all.

I have a TC Encore hand shotgun - does that count? Haven't got around to buying any rifle barrels for it.

Years ago I had the opportunity to buy one of those little Remington jobs in 221 Fireball, fairly cheap. I was stupid enough to pass on the deal. One of about three 'should'a bought that' gun deal regrets from back then.

The original Contender, in rifle or pistol form, was and remains a work of pure genius, imo. A man with a 22 rimfire and a medium power deer barrel like the 7-30 waters would be darn well equipped.

I enjoy them.I have the 7-30 waters,.35 rem,44 mag and the 30/30.All are good calibers.I only taken deer with the 30/30 so far,just got the other barrell after deer season went .Needless to say there will be shootin going on this hunting season...

I don't currently have any, but I've had 7 different contenders and I THINK 5 different xp-100's.
My contenders were all super 14" bull barrells, ,223's & .222's, .22Hornets, .44mag, and one I THINK 10-inch .45LC/.410 barrel.
xp-100's were .223's & a .260.
All were scoped except for the .45LC tube & I used a red dot on it.
I keeps buying them & selling them & now you've got me wanting 'nuther one.
