;D
Hope to use it on a hog in less than a week, but this will be a deer gun. Just got it put together. T/C Contender (same frame I've had for a while). Added ~7/8" to the buttstock to increase the LOP and also added a bit of weight (~1/2 pound) at the same time for a bit better balance. Purpleheart forearm I recieved from a friend semi-inletted and I did the rest. Has 3 coats of tung oil on it in these pictures with more planned for the summer when I have more time.
T/C Custom Shop .44 mag (18" with muzzle tamer), custom Picatinny scope base, Bushnell circle-X 3-9 Trophy scope, Millet rings. Using Winchester white box factory fodder I got a group that would have measured less than 1 1/2" at 100.
I hope I wring even better accuracy out of it once I start handloading for it. It's got a bit of kick to it off the bench- I'd put it at around a 20 gauge slug gun, recoil-wise. Not on a bench it's a fun little gun. ;D
Now I need another frame so I can carry both this one and my .357 Max pistol barrel!!
