I had a Contender with 14" barrels in 22LR, 223 and 17HMR. 2x Leupold scopes on those then I picked up an Encore with a 15" 308 barrel, 2-7 TC scope and had a blast, literally.

Killed a bunch of critters with them but had to shoot them off a rest like a bipod or a pack. Realized I had rifles that weighed just a tad bit more and were easier to shoot. Got rid of them all and now shoot pistols like pistols are meant to be shot.

But dang if I don't keep finding myself wanting another super 14 in 223...
