I just got my 10" 41 mag. barrel from Ed"s Contender"s. Now i'm not sure if i really need my 7-30 Waters barrel. I'm sure the 41 mag. will be just great for the whitetail deer hunting i do. Should i sell the Waters barrel and get some different barrel to play with? I already have Contender barrels in 22lr match, 17 Rem., 221 Fireball, 25-35, 300 Whisper and as i already said, 41 mad. and 7-30 Waters. Help me out folks.

now why would you do something silly like that! :roll: it ain't eating no hay. :lol: why would you sell it, and not any of the others? the 7-30waters has much more range than the 41mag. you may take a notion to hunt a different spot, or change your mind about which one you wanna use. heck, half the fun is trying to decide which one you're gonna pack. everyone should have a backup barrel. :lol: :agree: :yeah:

Shame on you

How could you even suggest such a thing

That would be like trying to choose between your children, which one will you keep and which one will you give away

Me thinks you need to ask for forgivness and mend your ways.

I think selling your 7-30 would be a big mistake. I personally have one in the 10 inch barrel and out to 200 yards it is unbeliveable. I would keep it if I were you.

What are you thinking!!!! I have barrels in 17HMR, 22lr, 22 Hornet, 357 Max, 41 Mag, 44 Mag, 45/410, 375 Win and 375 Win. A bunch of them calibers overlap. Are they fun to shoot, you bet, that is why I keep them all. Fun, and the fact that most of mine are 10" barrels which I like the best in the appropriate caliber and new ones are now a thing of the past. I have sold a few over the years, so I could not fault you for doing it, but the 7-30 is one of the best calibers to be had in a factory barrel. I think I would hold on to that one.

Thanks for the help guys. I'm no longer confused. I'm going to keep the 7-30 Waters barrel.

Thanks for your help,

Sometimes I wish I'd kept all the barrels I've sold, but normally if I get the itch for something different and a barrel has been gathering dust for a year or more, I'll sell it to finance a new one.
My barrels are like girlfriends to a single guy, you love them for a while until something prettier comes along.

I am just gettin into the contenders 2 yrs old but I can tell you that 13 barrels later my favorite is the 7-30 waters . I took a doe with it at over 140 yds this year . I like the 41 mag it is no way the shooter the 7-30 is .Happy New year Trapdoor
