[QUOTE="frostop, post: 2600641, member: 22611"] I recently purchased a cabin in southeast Alaska, primary home in Idaho. I want to put together either a TC Encore or Contender rifle for Blacktail deer and Black bear in the Southeast area and want to leave it at the cabin. I own a Contender and an Encore but don't want to take the Encore up there and leave it there. So my options are to purchase another Encore in say a .270 or 7-08 or pick up a new barrel for the Contender. For the Contender Barrel I have narrowed it down to either 7-30 waters (which I have brass and reloading dies for) or possibly 35 rem, yes there are the jdj wildcats and others but really don't want another round that I would have to reload. Obviously the range is going to be limited with either one. Yes the .270 or 7-08 would be the obvious choices but I have a wife and a safe full of firearms already. lol Just thought it might be fun to pick some brains for opinions, let the games begin.
