[QUOTE="Mr. Magoo, post: 2675269, member: 124360"] Lots of very nice setups here, and its nice to see this section here at LRH! Southern Colorado guy but I jump around alot for work. I shoot a plain jane gen1 contender, .223, 44 mag and 22lr, S&W 686-6, and a 1968 vintage S&W m41. The pistols have always gotten shot more than the rifles but the eyes are making it harder to hit with open sights so I'm looking for a better scope for the .223. Used to use a longish eye relief rifle scope and shoot with my gun parralel to my chest and supported with a bent elbow and forearm. I havent found a rifle scope to hold up well to the recoil and I didn't manage to get one of the burris medium eye relef scopes before they stopped making them. Longest elk shot with the .44 was 110y. Pretty happy with its performance. No pics of that unfortunately...I never thought to take pictures back then. I'd like to get a long throated, fast twist barrel shooting a rimmed 6.5 or 7mm STE since I have the brass already from shooting my 94 winchester and I could shoot long high bc bullets in it for better range. Seems like it would be pretty effective for deer hunting and fun at the range. Seems like I remember reading about Don Bower having a bunch of wildcats based off the 307 win case and using them in the gen 1 contender. [/QUOTE]
