Just signed up for the 2016 Convention! I haven't had a chance to hunt any this year yet between lack of time and my Jeep needing work, so I've not had a chance to really learn the area. Hoping this year I'll bag my first coyote! Looking forward to seeing everyone here in Tucson in a few months!

If you'd have just shot that one that I didn't see, now you'd be looking to bag your 2nd

You can do it! See ya then!

Got this on yesterday while out. We're spending a couple months out here this year snow birding Indiana weather. So there around!

that ammo holder on the forearm is a cool idea.

Congrats viper.....I too shoot an encore. I have 3 Contenders as well. That ammo holder is pretty sweet. Did you make that?

No my wife Kathy did! It holds 10 rounds and she got some 2" and 1" elastic. She made me two so I also drop one in my pocket. It stop them from rattling around when I move. And the one on the gun makes for faster reloading.

If you ever want a custom barrel made, I can not say enough about the Bull Berry barrels. Takes about 4 months to make to your specs. I sent them the forearm and they installed their hanging bracket. Very nice people!

That is a short sucker. How long is it?

16.25"

That's a sweet setup Viper! I have a 16.25 factory 223 barrel on a Contender carbine that I love. Although these days I use my Pro Hunter Encore 26inch most of the time.

Hey viper, since you're already out here if you want an extra set of eyes let me know.

Gotta get my new optics sighted in this week before the convention...
