The Ruger #1 in the .50-110 win chambering is something I have wanted for several years now. I Read a article on this particular chambering. A Guide had wrote about taking a client elk hunting back in the mid to late 30's. The hunter brought a Winchester 1886 chambered in .50-110. He made a 150 yard shot on a bull Elk that was facing him. The guide wrote that it was the Only time he had Ever seen a bull Elk picked up & summersaulted in the air & the Elk never moved other than the Flip.!! I decided I wanted a Rifle in that chambering!
The T/C Contender or Encore, I am leaning towards the pro hunter with a 15" barrel. It is going to be a problem. I want a BIG BORE handgun cartridge, but I don't want to break my wrist's. I am even considering going all out & making a new Wildcat chambering. Something like .600 N.E. only shortening it up by alot!!
Like I said I want to Kick around some different Loading & Chamberings!! Thanks for your input. Jeff Hren.
