nice i didnt realize that they made a 30-06 barrell for this gun i have the 30-30 barrell for it (as well as others) and i perfer the 30-30 personally u should try it out XD

[kyro1350]

@killit62 your fucking funny bro lol like the comments glad you liked the video

I can't believe everyone doesn't own one. You can go from .17 to .30-06. Shoot all day for Pennies. You may wanna look at rubber grips. They're great for shock reduction and look great!

[kyro1350]

@B17MIKE yea it is a great firearm had a lot of fun shooting it

[jedirifleman]

I imagine the .300 whisper will outperform the .30-06 or .30-30 in this short of a barrel as well.

[jedirifleman]

I had the .221 fireball , .222rem and .223 rem and found the .221 fireball outperformed the others with the 10" barrel since it was more efficient in such a short barrel. The other 2 just had more muzzle blast and waste of powder.

@jstomprud5 i can tell ya now, your right AND wrong XD they have 2 pistols there. just looke at 2:23. the first, the .223, is a contender, you can tell by the selector switch on the hammer, that toggles between rim and center fire, the encore doesnt hae that. the second pistol, the 30-06, IS an encore, again by the fact that there is NOT a switch on the hammer. you are right about the specs though, youll never see a contender in 30-06, just like ya dont see one here XD

[jstomprud5]

That is a Thompson Encore, not Contender. The Contender is not designed to handle the chamber pressure generated by the 36-06. The Contender is chambered for big boomers like the 45-70, 30-30, 44 Mag, and such but not for high pressure rifle rounds. The Encore was built to be bigger and beefier to handle high pressure rounds up to the 300 Win Mag, 500 S&W, and most conventional popular rifle rounds.

I just lol when he shot , I was wishing I was sitting there shooting mine. .30 herrett with sierra 110 GR. HP . also .223 40 or 45 GR. super explosive....Both in Super 14'' Barrels. Got it in 1982 or 83...

[TCArmsCo]

Thanks for sharing! Looks like it was a perfect day for shooting

[randy6771]

TC in 30 .06?

And it didn't break you wrists?

Just WOW!

[sheriffdoodle]

HOWDY

[billt460]

It almost seems the .223 has just as much recoil as the .30-06.

[Rickugg]

Hold on tight Ha Ha never wore gloves..Got mine 1982 ,223 14" .30 herrett 14''. going to load some Nosler 125 Gr.green tips soon. I would like to shoot the .375 JDJ..like to feeel that. I think my trigger is adjustable.

[aggrippa]

How does the Thompson Contender compare in terms of range and power to the Rossi Ranch Hand or the 45 Magnum?

[sab24k]

@spysweepk yeah, i'm not sure about the .30-06, but i have a Thompson Contender .222 that's quite similar & it has a hair-trigger, so very light trigger pull.
