I did not realize that Mike had passed the company on to his son, Kurt, who moved it from Grants Pass, OR, to Olathe, CO. He sure knows Contenders.
Got to meet Mike some years ago when I lived in the Rogue Valley -- and another feller from Grants Pass, John Noveske.
I always thought a Contender in .357 Max would be the nuts.

Had him do a Carbine barrel in .223 Ackley Improved in '05. Most consistently accurate barrel i have. Talked to him a few times was pleasure . Todd
30/30 Winchester: Not accurate enough fer varmints, barely adequate for small deer; BUT In a 10" to 14" barrelled pistol; is good for moose/elk to 200 yards; ground squirrels to 300 metres

250 Savage... its what the 223 wishes it could be...!

He sure did, he was big on the Begara barrels for them.

Good to know! I'd like to get a 1:48 muzzle loader barrel made for my Encore.
