There will always be some that just dont have things go well no matter what they are using. And I think it has more than a few wins in whatever games its used in. It hasnt spauned all those specialty after market businesses because its impracticle. It hasnt grown from a shy little rim fire shooter to and elephant basher because its poorly made. Comon bud the Contender didnt get to the production status it has because its junky or inaccurate. You dropped a spark that will likely become a blazing inferno. Look forward to your finding s of powder a load work. I have a 30BR barrel that I have been wanting to get put on an XP I have for over a year. Speed is money, how fast do ya want to go? Gun equipment is just like racing equipment. The gent that had it had a 4X scope on it and was very happy at hitting a pie plate at 100M. The trigger on the one I shot was terrible and left a lot to be desired.
It is a very well built piece and should be bullet proof in toughness. There are just too many parts and pieces available for them.Īs to the Competitor, I have shot one a few years back and was not impressed by it at all. BUT, imho, they are the best platform out there for building a SS pistol on. I still feel like I can hold my own with a couple of my TC's. If you think TC's are a turd, I have seen TC's out do XP's, BF's and MOA's on good days. TC does make a very generous throat most of the time, which in turn can be frustrating at times to say the least. But, on the other hand I have had some very good shooters. Joe, I have had some bad TC barrels over the years. The Competitor pistol is $500 with a wood stock, standard barrels, 14”, are $175. I can’t understand why anyone would think of a Contender or Encore after seeing the Competitor, and I gave up on the XP 100 because the time-to-complete could very well exceed the time-to-the-box. I’m sold, and ordered a wooden stocked pistol in 30 BR.
Some cartridges (416 Jamison?sp?) are simply terrifying. He told me stories of accuracy and showed me examples of many of the 400 odd cartridges that the pistol can be chambered for.
#MIDSOUTH SHOOTERS TC CONTENDER BARRELS HOW TO#
He showed me pistols, barrels, stocks and how the pistol works and how to change barrels and if needed, ejectors. After a nice drive through the mountains I found the shop and met Mr. I’d asked on several forums for opinions, and got few but very positive responses. I’ve seen these pistols in the Gun Digest for years, but never in the flesh. in Jaffrey NH and asked if I could visit. While staying there I called Competitor Corp.
One of our daughter lives in southern NH with hubby and the tribe. While up here in the frozen North I found an XP100 for $495 that had been re-chambered to 222 Rem, that with a new barrel and stock might be competitive after the gunsmith-to-be-found finished it, many years from now if the past is an indication. The Contender is as over-rated and over-priced as the Ruger #1/3. After ~15 years with the Contender I gave up, and from the looks of match results I’m not alone. I’m interested in trying the Long Range Handgun, partly because of the results to 100 yards with the Ruger MK II.
