I think the 7.62x54R is out in a Contender from anybody.

Most agree the 303 British is just fine with an ammo within specs.

Various builders will or will not chamber the 7.62x39mm. Those who build it generally offer .308" or .311".

Anyone ever have a contender barrel in old - Bucky, 2020-06-27, 17:48
