TC Contender in 357 Rem Max.
Just to make sure that it is done thoroughly, I go both ways.

If I do, it will be with a Para 16-40.

Thought about dusting off my T/C Contender and putting the 35rem bbl on it. Use to use it a lot but for the last few years it's just been happily taking up space in the safe....

If I get the opportunity, I'll use my Wichita 7mm IHMSA or my Contender in .300 Savage.

I picked up a 30-30 barrel for my Thompson Contender last year, I might try using it if conditions are right.

 One of these 2 will be with me this year. Just depends on how mad I am at something that day as to which one it will be.

I have shot a few nice bucks and some big hogs with a S&W 500 Mag. It's overkill, but it sure is a cool gun to have.
350 gr Sierra JHP at 2,000 fps, it's nasty.

I switch back and forth between these two, Desert Eagle .44mag and S&W Performance Center .44mag. Have taken Whitetail, Mulies, and Antelope using handguns. Longest shot was at 200 yards, most are less than 50 yards.
