What did you hunt, what did you hunt with and are you still doing it?
I hunted with a contender 7 years ago. Caliber was 7-30 Waters using factory loads (pre-handloading era for me) Shot was at about 70 yds off of a poplar pole cross brace. The small 10pt, basket rack, went about 50-60 yards. Had my 11 year old son with me (course he is 18 now). One of the best times hunting I have ever had and probably him too.
Traded that pistol away towards my 1st Sako the following spring. And this year I replaced it with another of like caliber. This one is here to stay.
