Well, I'll be!!! 

Thanks.   

Still, they look too light, and WAY too expensive.  And a few other things, but I wish them well.  Always interesting to see someone doing good work on an old and unusual rifle.

I shot the Contender as an offhand only rifle at EG. Tha barrel was only 21" so a very short, nylon, extension was made to slide onto the muzzle. It was a borrowed custom shop barrel and I am now having one of my own made at legal length. 
My lo wall was my bench gun. Last year showed me that the lo wall with the Unertl in place was just too heavy for me to shoot offhand. With iron sights only, it held perfectly and was much steadier than the T/C.
  T/Cs can be shot off the bench and there is a good flat bottom forend available cheap. from Marc Sheehan at sheehan93@hotmail.com. Web sight. (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links). Shooting them takes some concentration to get everything the same for every shot. The biggest problem would be with changing winds where taking too long between shots would not allow you to "run the conditions".
  T/Cs would be illegal for BPCRS. It has to be a gun or a repro of a gun built before 1895. The cheapest legal gun for BPCRS would be a trapdoor Springfield and I have seen them shoot unusually well.
