Have a new G2 Contender with the 14" blued barrel in .204 and I am wondering what other Contender shooters recommend for scopes/rings/bases. Any input is muchly appreciated. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif
 
I have tried Leupolds fixed 4 power and 2 power scopes out of those I prefer the 2 power but I now have a couple of the T/C 2.5-7 scopes that I like and would reccomend. Mounts are another thing, I can't find anything wrong with the weaver type base and rings, had a set on my 308 encore barrel and it never moved, the Burris base is pretty good as well but when I switched from Encores to Contenders I tried the T/C one piece mount and realy like it at least for a pistol.
 
Weaver style base and Burris signature zee rings.These rings don't have to be "lapped in" and don't put your scope in a bind and I have never had scope move in them.(270WSM) Also when you remove your scope there is no marks.
 
Most of my long-range handguns have the 3-12X Burris Ball. Plex reticle, but my most recent project is an XP 20 BR, and i'm putting this riflescope on it-- www.rapidreticle.com 3-9X 32mm 22 LR reticle, mostly for it's size, and the more precise windage stadia reference those reticles have-- but a lot of that reticle is gonna be wasted since it goes down to 20 MOA, and that's way too far for the 20's. That rig will probably net u 400 yd. +/- performance on coyotes, with the right scope...and that means ballistic reticle or accurate turret comeups. I'd go 3-12X Burris Ball. Plex or the Leupold with an elevation turret installed for handgun scopes, although some of the simple plex reticle scopes would give u accurate trajectory compensation if u're interested in that kinda stuff. With the minimal recoil of that cartridge u could put riflescopes on it also, as i'm doing with my 20.
