Any Contender shooters here?
Currently shoot contenders in .22, 223 and 32Mag.
Also shoot .22 Anshutz pistols and Rem XP;s in 6.5BR, 7mmBR & 30BR.
Recently sold a couple of freedom Arms revolvers to fund an old BMW 1150 so now just have my 25yr+ Dan Wesson in 357 SuperMag.
Shoot most calibers both scoped and open sights.

But it just isnt spinning my wheels lately and I think the challenge of scoped rifle long-range may have something to do with that. I'm just looking to maybe get out of pistols and into F-Class shooting. Good move???

Quick update; Sold a few bits & pieces in the interim. Some nice gentleman on this site who will remain nameless saw my plight and offered me a Barnard actioned 6mmBR with inter-changeable 7mmWinchester barrel plus all the reloading gear plus projectiles. Arrived today!! Looks sweet in its McMillan stock. Now I just hope I can do it justice.
Needing a suitable scope although a good friend has loaned me a Tasco 6 x 24 x 44 * and a Konuspro in 3 - 12 x 56 to tide me over till I find a scope. Looking at a Sightron I think.

It will be a joy to only be loading for two calibers for a change.
