About 100 yards from my blind to where this sow was. Hit her with a .30-30 from a 10" barreled Thompson Contender. [Linked Image]

I've had the Contender for several years and this is the first animal I have taken with it. I was stoked!

Thanks! It ran 70 yards but left a great blood trail. We had no trouble finding it.

She should be good eating.

That 10" .30-30 has to have a heck of a muzzle flash.

I've had a Contender since 82 or 83. Have 14" barrels in .44 Mag and .223, 10" Octagon barrels in .22 LR, .45 Colt and .45/.410, and two custom barrels for suppressor use, a 8" .44 mag and a 5" .22LR match chamber.

Nice hog. Great shot!


"Group think" is not thinking. It is the lack of independent thought. It is a cancer of the mind.

It was very good!

You are correct on muzzle flash... great big fireball! And loud too. I have that barrel and a .22LR barrel as well.
