    I've got a Contender, okay, .30-30 barrel, 7mmTCU, .45 Colt/.410, and .22 LR barrels. It's a cool handgun hunting system and it fits in a saddle bag. :D I've thought about adding a .45-70 barrel, but this guy special built one in .600 Nitro Express. Mmmm, I think I'll pass on that caliber choice. No elephants in Texas anyway outside of the zoo and I sorta need all my digits... :D

    Yeah, the .30-30 is my main big game gun. I've got a Barnes X and a Nosler Ballistic Tip load for it. The Barnes bullet will knock a hog down post haste.

    The 7mm TCU I bought for IHMSA competition. I no longer shoot IHMSA, but it's still kinda cool having a wildcat you have to fire form the brass for. :D It'd make a pretty good deer load, but the 30-30 does a fine job of that. The othe two are for small game, though the .410 is really cool in that I can shoot heavy .44 mag equivalent 300 grain bullet .45 colts out of it. It's pretty accurate with 'em, too. I've got irons on it, no scope. The .30-30 and .22 rimfire are scoped. Pretty cool system. .375 would be cool for a big thumper, but I sure don't need no .600 Nitro Express! :eek:
