Who shoots a Contender/ Encore?

[Louro]

I have few contender and few encore love shooting them. Mostly I shoot pistol length for fun my favorite calibers are 7mmTCU, 375JDJ and 45/70 but I have many other calibers. What caliber do you shoot?

Any T/C Contender Shooters Out There?

My room mate was looking for an Encore action or complete gun at Tulsa Saturday, we found one 16" barrelled 308 and 4 regular Contenders total. All were stupidly overpriced

Thanks for the link, some how I miss that post.

Contender in 256 win mag, 357 mag, 7TCU, 7-30 waters and 30 herret

All them are good calibers. I had the kill few animals with waters. I have a Herret that I need to drag out and work a load.

I competed in IHMSA handgun silhouette matches for over 25 years and I had several Contender and Encore frames and barrels that I've sold in the past few years for lack of use along with my Remington center grip XP-100's.

I did keep one Encore frame and scoped 15" barrel chambered in 6.5x55 Swede.

I have one and I have a 10” bull .22lr, a 14” .222 reminton, a 10” octagon .45 colt/.410 with an external choke, a 10” .357 magnum, a 10” octagon .44 magnum, and a 14” .357 Herrett.

I have owned several Contenders, but I switched to Encores about 20 years ago. I currently have a MGM 270 Win, TC Custom Shop 308 Win, MGM 9.3x74r, and a MGM/Arrowhead smokeless 45 cal muzzleloader.

I have a love/hate relationship with the G1 having to break it over to re cock it.
