contender accuracy

The bullets may be smaller but not the challenge.

I agree with Philip. Now if you can just find enough ammo to keep it shooting!!!!

Best way to get ammo is to get on a waiting list with one of the major suppliers. My brother and I did this, and scored a case of SK Jagd Standard plus. Was about a 5 month wait, but I now have 5 bricks of match ammo - should hold me for a while !

I just bought Wolf Match Extra from Champion Shooters Supply. But the way, that Contender is just too pretty to shoot.

that's an excellent group! I have two 14" .22 match barrels and they both will surprise you how accurate they are. I put Bellum extra power locking lug springs in them and put Georiga Jim's grips and forends on them. Looks great and shoots very well. Concerning SK .22 ammo; I was able to score some SK Standard Plus about a month and a half ago at DIProducts...alas, they were out within a week or so. I'm still able to to get my Eley Target at Champions Shooting Supply. Probably should order some more. Keep up the great groups!!

By the way - SK Jagd Standard Plus, Wolf Match Target, and Lapua Pistol King are all the same ammo !

Great group, nice shooting. Looks like some high plains gun stocks furniture on it. Either way, that is a great looking gun.
