I have a carbine 6.8 and 12" 7-30 barrels. The 7 has more bullet choices than the 6.8 but brass is readily available. Both make good deer/varmint medicine. The only factory ammo 6.8 ammo I tried...

Yes you can swap barrels including ones for the G2 models but not the Encore. Other than the grip, they are ambidextrous in nature. Some have a thumb rest grips but that is a simple swap to fix that....

God bless Hornady for making the old caliber brass again. Now if they'd start making of .25-20 I'd be pleased.

They do offer a take down version with a 16 inch barrel in .357. https://www.chiappafirearms.com/p.php?id=107

I believe the purpose of that pin was to avoid patent infringement issues. I have not personally seen a Contender ML barrel in the flesh so to speak so no first hand knowledge but if it were mine I...

Winchester makes it although you may have to wait a while for them to make a run. I feed my Marlin .375 the brass and it works just fine. I have .38-55 rifles and don't like to share brass with the...

Another one to consider is the CZ-527 Varmint. Spooky accurate and I love the single set trigger. On a good day I can get sub 1 inch groups at 200 yards out of my American stocked version. It has...

Lever gun typically don't have much if any throats. You'll have to seat it to the last grove to get it to chamber.

When you adjust a trigger that light, a sharp smack to any gun with the safety off can cause it to fire. With a Contender the safe thing to do is to not cock the hammer until you are ready to shoot....

There is also the 300 blackout if you want to play with suppressed subsonic loads and fairly cast friendly. I've got a Bergara Encore barrel I'm thinking of shortening to pistol length.

This is mine. A MGM barrel I got a few years ago. Have not used it much for a few years and would consider parting with it ( sans scope & mount, + dies). Don't have the time to play with...

I just picked up my new .32 single six a couple of hours ago. Can't say I like to glowing green sights all that much but it's a cheap fix to get the plain sights from Brownells and swap them out. ...

Not yet for the Ruger American but have put one on a Savage Axis. I chose the pepper laminate to match the SS rife and got the prairie hunter style. It would have been a drop in fit except I...

I am fortunate enough to own 2 .44 lever guns. The first one I got was the little Marlin 94 "guide" carbine with a 16" ported barrel. It's a great carry in the wood rifle. There is only thing I...

Ditto on the .35 Whelen. Go with a 14" twist if you do. Better for the heavier lead and cast over 16".

I have 3 Ruger Americans. One in .22 rimfire I got because I could get one with a threaded barrel for suppressed shooting. I was impressed enough to get another in .22-250 and the third in 300...

Remington usually make a seasonal run of the brass. Midway is expecting some on 1/19 and the are as good as anybody at getting it in stock. You can put in for a notification when it gets in. Be...

Ditto on pietro's comment. Mine is a Lux .22 hornet and have a Burris HBR 6x on it. Never had any issue. Get the best scope you can afford that fits the little rifle. You will be amazed at how...

While not a bolt gun my TC Contender carbine in .30-30 regularly does 1" at 100 yards with cast. I see no reason not to get similar results from a bolt gun especially if it has a nice trigger pull.

I have a 14" .35 Remington barrel and I load it the same for my Marlin lever. Because I load for both I full length resize but adjust the sizing die to just set the shoulder back a couple...

I've got a nice little Rossi 92SRC that I was happy with until I picked up a Miroku Winchester in .44 magnum. Now I'm spoiled and would like to get one in .357 one day when the money gods smile upon...

I had no idea they command such a high price and it almost makes me consider selling the one I have. But I'd really miss it and they may never come back so I'm keeping it.

.30-30 chambers traditionally have very little throat. SAAMI spec. has it at 0.015" and at a 15 degree taper. All of my .30-30 boolit molds start tapering at the crimp groove and/or have bore...

Hard to beat the Ranch Dog design. Made specifically for Marlins and a great hunting bullet. You can get one at NOE.

I think your biggest obstacle will be finding a .32-20 or .25-20 donor rifle. The .218 is based on that case so the bolt will not need to be modified and the carrier and feeding will have fewer...
