Been looking at the various 45-70 single shots and really want a Ruger No 1. However, I’ve also considered aTC Contender or another Encore. I like the contender better but I have not been able to source a new rifle barrel in 45-70 for the contender. If I was to go encore it would have to be a Katahdin 20” barrel. Is there another source for a 45-70 rifle barrel for the contender? TC doesn’t list it as a rifle any longer (it may not have ever been but I thought it was). If you had the choice, would you go contender or encore? Thanks men!
Killing time and dreaming during current situation....
