If I had to do it all over again I would have a Contender with two barrels, both 14" in .22LR and 30-30AI. Next I would build two XP's, both with 16" medium weight barrels in .223 and .284 Win.. To finish things up nicely I would have a Smith 6".22 LR and a 6 1/2" 629 Classic .44 Mag. and finally I just can't live life without my Freedom Arms 6" .475 Linebaugh.
