Howdy all! [smilie=s:
I just got my first contender off gunbroker . . . http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/Vie...Item=233408876
My concern at first was the rear of the receiver area? It seems pretty scraped up?
I then saw the rifling, and it seems pretty "thin" or shallow, is this normal for TC barrels? My Sako has at least TWICE as deep grooves . . .
Do you think this gun was misrepresented?
I kinda feel like I got took . . . but . . . I have never had or fired a Contender either, so wanted some input before complaining to the seller . . .
Here are some pictures . . .

I did not scrub out the barrel, just ran a bore snake through it once . . . it was oiled quite heavily . . .
To me, it seems that the gun is not in "VERY GOOD" Condition . . . or has an "EXCELLENT" bore . . . what do you think?
