Specialty Pistols

[Glen]

My 6mm PPC Contender is pretty special, too. I should shoot that gun more......

Good lord, what kind of mind dreams up a pistol like that?

When you live in a place with an abundance of small game and varmints, you try to make it interesting and fun.

I'm contemplating a "can" for it too....

Yeah, I tell myself that every time I open the safe, so many that hardly ever get touched anymore. Not competing anymore I seem to zero in on one and play with that for awhile, right now it's the M1A but that doesn't fit very well into a specialty pistol thread.

So Glen, your big move should be coming right up. Are you taking any casting gun stuff with you at first or go into withdrawals in Georgia?

 

[Brad]

I'm not the only one with a safe queen that used to see lots of action?
That makes me feel better.

 

[Glen]

Rick, still a week away. No casting stuff at first, but I will take a few personal favorite revolvers so I can spend some range time with friends. The casting and loading stuff will come later, after we buy a house.

Freedom Arms 2008 Single Shot in .223rem. Burris 3x12 scope. Second barrel in 6.5x55 with Leupold 2.5x8 on a 25MOA base.

I fondled a couple of the FA Single Shots at the SHOT Show right before their release date. I was very, very tempted but didn't do it, kinda sorry about that.

 

[Brad]

I never knew FA made a single shot. I bet it shoots well.

 

[JohnK454]

It shoots extremely well! Gives 130gr Bergers 2400fps and with the Leupold and 25moa base, we were holding dead on and hitting small rocks at over 1,000yds in Raton.

I get great joy from shooting my 7mm/TCU (the bottom one)

I just got a new super 14. .223 barrel for my TC contender. This makes the third barrel including a 10". 30-30 and a 10" octagon .22LR barrel. I'm excited to go try this one out. I put a Burris 2x7x32 scope on it. 40gr V -Max bullets to start. Cast will come someday. This should be a fun one to bust bottles of water out to 200 yards or so !

 

[waco]

I was too lazy to put the Pachmayr grip on for a picture. I wish I had a nice wood forend for a 14" barrel.

 

[Rick]

I'll look tomorrow, I probably have a stock T/C forend for the bull barrel. Wasn't it you looking for one for the octagon barrel a while back?

Yup. But I found one for the 10" octagon barrels. Now I would like one for the Super 14 barrels. PS I've been keeping an eye out for that Grandkid of yours out here in Springfield!

 

[waco]

Thanks Rick. If you have one your willing to part with, let me know how much you would like for it.

 

[Brad]

I keep forgetting I traded into a 7TCU barrel for mine a year or more ago. I need to scope it and see what it will do.

I can say this, a KHornet in a 10 inch barrel makes a huge fireball with a case full of WC680 and a jacketed bullet. Pretty impressive if not annoying as hell.

 

[waco]

I'm really looking forward to shooting this one! I want to get out to the desert and shoot this one at some distance. I'll work up some 55gr BT's too.

 

[KHornet]

Not being much of a handgunner at all, I am very glad that I did not get bit by the Contender bug. Know some people with 8-10 bbls or more for them. They are fun to shoot however, so to each his own I guess!

 

[Rick]

A mere 10 barrels wouldn't get you into the Contender's Club.

 

[Brad]

I only have three........
