What is the taper on the barrel - a heavy barrel or the bull barrel? Which forend are you using the standard rifle forend or the Katadin carbine one?

Hi PJ

,

Nice rig! I'm jealous (live in commiefornia and can't buy TC's anymore

). Looks like a real bear thumper to me!

At least I have my old Contenders to play with.

I was thinking of something very similar. A custom shop heavy barrel about 20 inches long with a Leupold VX-II 1-4 and Leupold Dual Dovetail mount. I thought that this setup would do well to replace my Marlin guide gun with same scope.
