    Re: SBR'd Contender

    Malaga, I have a question. Why would you do a single shot 300 whisper? I always thought that the main purpose of a 300 whisper was to have a cartridge that would stay subsonic and still cycle the action of an AR.

    For me I dont see the attraction to a single shot 300 whisper.

    NOT knocking your rifle .. loks like a nice little deer killer for the backyard garden.

    Malaga2, looks like a ton of fun and I am sure your son loves it. I am considering doing a similar setup. Maybe I will get around to it later this year. Too many projects--too little money

    Outsydlooknin75, I can appreciate your idea as I know many people that feel the same. I have the opposite opinion-- I do not have a T/C but do have two bolt action whispers and have no interest in doing an AR. Considering the time and effort I put into making custom brass and producing the best ammo possible I would not want to just blast it away out of an AR. Additionally, I burn up about 2k rounds a year as it is-- there is no way I could feed and AR if I shot it as much as I shoot my bolt rifles. On a side note- my whispers are used so much because they are so damn fun. I have shot steel out to 830yrs with a subsonic 220 SMK and that is more fun than shooting a lot further with my 338LM

    You missed the point.. the attraction was to SBR a Contender as I see this as a great multi caliber set up. I use it with 22's,9mm, 30/30 and its primary config as a 300 Whisper.
    I have a couple of AR's just never felt the need to do one in a Whisper.
