In what universe is 7lbs a heavy rifle?

Of you want the best 44mag single shot go T/C Contender

nine35.ca has this barrel in stock hard part is to find a NR Contender carbine frame.

Pistol barrels​
New TC Contender
Super 14" 44 Mag SS $520 (if you have a NR frame this will keep you above the 26" req. to maintain NR)

Used handi rifle prices make buying a new Henry or cva a no brainer.

^yep

Can't speak to the cva but the henry is worlds ahead of the H&R

And a carbine frame will be easy 1000$ now.

 

[Snider shooter]

I plan to keep mine. Makes a nice light carbine

Really never imagined = I have a few of them...

I sold my 44mag barrels = I'm into 45 Colt have two 45 Colt barrels

Best part of a Contender is you can install 14" barrels onto the nonrestricted frames and go hunting with them...

 

[Snider shooter]

I would check your length as I can put a 12 inch barrel on mine and it’s still above legal length. Nice light carbines to take out on a walk. The ability to quickly change calibers is the biggest reason I have them.

14" barrels with factory Rynite butt stocks are 27.5" OAL your 12" barrel with a factory butt stock is 1/2" to short.

This is my all time favorite Contender carbine chambered in 338JDJ #2 gives me 2500fps with 180gr Accubonds and 2350fps with 200gr SST's.



I was blacktail hunting with my 14" barreled 6.8SPC this morning



I shoot grouse in the head/neck at 80 yards with my 14" barreled 17HMR

 

[Snider shooter]

I always thought anything over 660 was legal. I am at 677 so should be legal. I made the stock and forearm to fit me.

 

[Camp Cook]

I do not trust LEO's and there lack of firearms law knowledge so I always go longer than I need so there is no question.

Example I had two 23" barrels shortened to 19" instead of 18.5" so there was no way they could mistake the measurement.

This is one of the barrels I had shortened to 19" it is chambered in 6.8SPC the other is a 204 Ruger

If Winchester or Browning had made a 44 Mag version of the 1885 that would have been a really nice combo.

Browning did make the 1885 Low Wall in .44 magnum. Very rare.

Also very rare is a Ruger Model 3 in .44 magnum. I passed on one years ago and still regret it.

One could do the same build on an encore action is a bit heavier than the contender but still a very compact and handy rifle action lots of aftermarket barrel options out there also

 

[Camp Cook]

Easier to find a Encore frame as well non-restricted Contender frames are almost non-existent now...

Those that have don’t part with them very often.

 

[Camp Cook]

I'll part with Contender barrels but I will never sell a non restricted Contender frame.

I have two sons and two grandsons so far that will inherit them.

 

[jimbo45]

[chasseur]

I had a Ruger no 3 in 44mag that I wish I had not sold
