10" 30-30
« on: March 04, 2003, 10:47:45 AM »
I'm thinking about adding a 10"30-30 barrel...dang this contender thing is addicting...

What are the disadvantages of the 10" over the 12"/14"?  I know the shorter barrel may result in lower fps but will it matter to a deer within 150 yards?

Thanks for the wisdom!

I have one and it is very accurate with the factory ammo I shoot in it.  The most noticable thing is the muzzle jump.  It is more than my 35 with a 14" barrel.  It is still controllable though.  I like mine.

If you had to do it over ,would it still be a 10 , or would you go for the 14 in 30-30 contender
