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.
