I just bought my first Contender. Have always had Encores but a friend of mine wanted to sell a Contender that he has had since 1986 and never fired. It has the cougar etched on the side with a Super 14 Heavy 44mag barrel and wears a 2X Leupold scope, wood grip and forend. For a 20 year old gun this thing looks brand new. Cant wait to shoot it.
Oh, he let me have it for $425.00 with a hard case. I think I did pretty good, how bout you?

pretty fair deal....now what barrel is next?

Good job

Been wanting a 35 Rem barrel since I shot another friends Contender but he wouldnt part with it.

sweet,im thinking on a g2 frame and a 30-30 ai tube!jim257
