Thanks to Milek I got on the Contender Bandwagon.
Ended up with 30 Herret, 35 Herret and 357 Maximum with 10 inch barrels and 35 Remington with a 14 & 16 inch barrels. And several other calibers not relevant to this discussion.
My favorite of the lot was the 357 Max.; Could use 357 Mag carbide dies for reloading and it had plenty of power, close but not quite up to the 35 Rem.
I met a T/C Smith at a gunshow in Arizona... Van Horn(?) who had the neatest little T/C carbine with a full stock over his shoulder. Talk about a handy little rifle.
All of the T/C's are gone now, and Milek's only lasting impact on me are my 250 Savage's, which he wrote highly of.
