So got my first contender today. Have a 44mag bbl that im going to ream to 445. What are some other oddball calibers for this little guy. I want a 14 ackley hornet and a 218 bee. I know greybeards is good place to look around. Anybody have any other helpful info
I enjoy shooting .357 Herrett. Thought a .30 Herrett would be fun too.

You will get to really liking that Contender. My daughter uses ours set up as a youth length carbine in 7-30 Waters to deer hunt with. Flatter and softer shooting than the .30-30 barrel but just as deadly.
Right now it has handgun grips and an old 10" .22lr octagon barrel on it for driving tacks.
There are lots of barrel, grip, forearm, stock options out there. Barrels are little high on ebay but you can find good deals on grips, stocks and forearms. Barrels and forearms listed as being second generation (or G2) will fit first gen frames and vice-versa but NOT grips/stocks....they changed the angle of the attachment stud when they came out with G2 frames. None of the Encore stuff will fit.

a pistol 45-70 barrel would be interesting

Shot one once, think it was a 14". It was a hoot.
Contenders are lots of fun to shoot no mater what caliber
Had the 45/70 with a brake... Was cool but ended up trading it and a frame for 1895 marlin

Here's a 45-70 Bbl on some Fajen furniture wearing a Nikon Encore 2x20mm
Absolutely a blast to shoot ... literally! Suitable for moderate range hunting of large game.
