new (to me) toys

[billy]

octagonal 10" 357 mag
14" bull match .22lr
fixed 4x scout scope
burris 2.5-7x scope
i really need to get that forend
i love bench shooting
and i cant wait for that 3030 bbl.

i borrowed the silver scope from a member here
and i was abe to cobble the other set up by going through the ol junk drawer
sometimes it is nice buying the wrong stuff
getting mad
and tossing it in a drawer
then years later
i need it!

Nice, thoose Contenders are so versatile.

i hemed and hawed about getting one for years.
i always thought
dang thats a lot of money for a single shot.
but they are really nice.

I wonder if you had been licking the hammer on that if you would have been asked to leave Home Depot.

 

[I-R-POPS]

So how did it shoot?
Is that the hammer you're talking about licking?
Man, I don't know about you!!!

I have one of the first year Contenders. My dad gave it to me. AFAIK it has been shot 3 times. 45/410. Beautiful gun, I just hate to take it out.
Nice shooter you have there.

 

[billy]

it shoots like a dream
the nicest out of the box trigger i have EVER seen.
(and i have fooled with some real nice guns.)
i would like to replace that pretty octagonal bbl with a 14" bull
i just prefer a long bbl.

THIS DUMB CAMERA HAS THE WRONG DATE





you might be able to see the beer bottle i was nailing .
it is sitting on the black box in the distance




this is a zoom shot of the bottle

i made a little movie of me hitting it
and i may post that later

 

[billy]

the 10" .357 bbl is wearing a fixed 4x scout scope
the 14" 22 match has a burris 2.5-7x pistol scope.
as soon as i get a bench forarm for it i will set up a table and really try for groups
