The is truly a hard decision because I really have no problems with either frame in terms of feel. Even though I am 5'9" 165 I have no problem palming a basketball, so hand size is not a problem.

I may have found a lead on a contender with two barrels that may be for sale. My cousin is rumoured to be getting rid of his 7x30 waters and .223 on the old cntender frame. I just can't get ahold of him to find out.
