It really depends on what your planning on doing with your Contender I have a 7-30 Waters barrel for my Contender and a 22 Hornet for my Encore you really have to know what your plans are for use. I'd buy the one thats in better shape if thats a choice or the SS one over the blued but thats just me.

If you are looking for something for IHMSA...
The 22 Hornet would be ideal for field pistol providing it has a 10" bbl.
You would do excellent with the 7/30 waters for big bore.
Good shooting. Jerry J
