any members shooting contender/encore pistols?

are there any members shooting ether of these
I’m new to handgun hunting and am learning as I go
I have a contender with 4 bbls
22 match
22 hornet
44 mag
30-30 win
I’m hoping to be ready for deer with the 30-30 this fall
I still have to scope it and am looking at a NcStar 2-7
has anyone else used one?
and if any one has a suggestion for a load for deer that are willing to share I’d be very thankful
thanks Frank

My contender was in the 7-30 waters. Great for whitetail, with the 2.5 power scope. Tried the variable and could not hold it still for a good shot at over 3 power or so. Still needed a rest at distances over 50 yards or so. Maybe just me??? Traded it in for a new turkey gun.

I shoot an old style contender with a .22 match a .221 fireball and a .45lc/.410 . I have the carbine set up too and am looking for a used rifle barrel in .221
