Bob Roach must be a mind reader. A G2 Contender in 22lr and 300 BO is exactly my current plan to start with. I love squirrel hunting and a match barrel in 22lr would be very nice for that. In terms of optics, I'm thinking a Leupold VX3 handgun scope on the 300 BO. I do have a Bushnell Trophy handgun scope in the basement waiting to be used too. Have any other thoughts or suggestions please send them my way. Thanks.
