I decided to go back to original Contender.
G2 was Ok but after 20 plus yrs w originals, I just like the looks and feel of em better.

Chuck rig is set up.
Ingram .22 mag w Burris 3-12X



Yeah the Burris posiline Zee look better but its already a pig w that scope.

LGS got a stainless rig in used so I bought it for the frame.
Have about $ 250 in the frame/ grip which I thought tolerable. Def like the perched cougar on blued rigs but a screamin puzzy on stainless is no big deal.

Is there much weight difference between the original and G2 frames?

I didnt think so. The grip angle and Pachmayrs of the G2...the gun felt different.

Dislike the looks and feel of the trigger.
My G2 had a good trigger, weight/ break wise.
But it felt funky on my finger.

Just always liked the feel of the original.

Suppose if one had no history w an original the G2 might be dandy. It wasnt bad, was just different. Could tolerate a G2 if I had to.

No way an Encore though.
