Allow me to list a few reasons to avoid having a Contender:
If you have a frame and stock/forend you can have a .....
.30-30
Or a .30 Sneezer...
Or a .22 RF....or CF...in LR or Short
It's horrifying I tell you!
They are a dream to tote around all day long, but you may reach a point where you need a barrel bearer and maybe a bullet boy. You have to carry so many different kinds of ammo it can get confusing. If you differentiate with barrel diameters and finish/scope style etc, it helps sort things out. Read awhile back about some poor (really!) fella with 4 frames, six stocks/grips, and 30 barrels! You just know a scope for each barrel is mandatory, right? May Zeus have mercy. I hope they don't repossess his truck.
Only thing I can add, is that after sunset whiskey helps. Or a red dot sight if so disposed...
