Well you should unload them silly, before you clean them or work on them etc.  But seriously I would not if I was you.  But if you must, send me a list of available items for my purchasing pleasure.

Well PJ, let me know if you want to unload that .444 Marlin.  

You got me thinking about getting one, and I am considering that or an Encore with a .35 Whelen barrel.  I have smaller hands and the Contender fits me fine and I don't know how the Encore would do.  But I really like the Whelen with a 260 grain gas check bullet.

careful! that 300mag may have your brain jiggled loose :) . be sure it's what you really want to do. they are easy to send packing, but hard to replace. the dumbest thing i ever did, was get rid of a 6x47 bullberry contender several years ago. :cry: i've regreted it ever since. :roll:

Getting rid of Contenders

I think PJ is just suffering from a case of Encore Pistol Magnumitus.  I probably shouldn't encourage him, but a friend & I would like to see him get a 375 H&H barrel and cut it to 16 1/4.  PJ does such a good job of providing information when field testing, that the 375 H&H would make a great next project.......

I have to agree with the others.  Very easy to get rid of, but a pain to replace.  I have heard of other people doing the same thing, and regretting it.  Maybe just stripping down to your favourite few is better.
