[QUOTE="bwaites, post: 265989, member: 8733"] These pistols really confuse me! I thought a pistol was a short, light firearm, but I could even understand the whole Contender idea, with a pistol shooting a rifle cartridge. But I can't figure out the idea behind spending hundreds, (or thousands) of dollars to have a rifle without a stock. I mean, this pistol, as cool as it looks, is essentially a Benchrest rifle, with all the benefits and drawbacks to the benchrest rifle, and the additional drawback of not having a stock. It is obviously set up to shoot targets, not game, though I guess it could be used to shoot Prairie Dogs set up like it is. Last time I looked, though, the guys trying to be really accurate were all shooting rifles, and all the records belong to rifles! I can CERTAINLY understand the need to have something different! I shoot a 6.5 Grendel and have a Hart barreled 7mm WSM on the way. But how does that work for these pistols? Using a short eye relief rifle scope like the NF, Sightron, etc. it seems like a guaranteed brow buster!! Help me understand!!! COOL looking pistol, though!!! [/QUOTE]
