Thanks for the help with my other thread on a gunsmith. The reason I am wanting to fix up my Contender is so that I can talk it deer hunting in Illinois. Illinois has some weird rules about this.
Most people hunt with slug shotguns from stands. I do that as well, but I want to try something else. Rifles are not legal.
Pistols are legal if they are 30 caliber are greater and the brass length is less then 1.4 inches.
Given those limitations and the contender platform (an older one, not G2 if that makes a difference) I am thinking of getting a 10 or 12 inch barrel for my contender in 300 Blackout or 45 colt. I want to be good out to 100 yards. I will be putting a scope on it.
Any experience or thoughts about those two choices? Any other options you would suggest?
I like old school, so I am leaning toward the 45 colt, my hesitation is performance as it gets closer to 100 yards.
