I shot the walnut one on Saturday and had .35-.55 3 shot groups with a 50gr vmax for most of my test loads. For kicks, shot a couple rounds of 13gr of blue dot with the 50vmax . With the suppressor, that load is about half as loud as a 22lr rifle, recoil like a hornet, and surprisingly accurate. Those blue dot loads will be great for my grandkids first centerfire range session.
How you know you are old...

My Dad left us when he was 87. My Brother (Now 70) and I (Now 67) at a certain point started asking Him how it felt to be old. His reply was predictable, "I'll let you know when I get there".
Then at somewhere between 75 & 80 He told me how He Knew He was finally Old. I will never forget what He said. His words of wisdom were: " I know I am old because it takes Me all night to do what I used to be able to do all night" (I SURE do miss that MAN)
I like walnut. Daddy cut this walnut tree down when I was 12. The grip was made from it only a few years ago After Daddy left us. Guess that is why this is my favorite Contender.
BUT I like this also:
To each his own. My Wife says I am a child in an old man's body LOL
Safe shooting

You know you're gettin old --
-- when your grandkids start looking old.
-- when more of your favorite rock stars are dead than alive.
-- when you've never had more than one dog at a time, and you've had 8 or 10 dogs.
-- when your folks died of old age, and they died twenty years ago.
-- When ya still think of engines as CID instead of Liters.
-- you can remember when they invented OSB.
-- your childhood phone number only had 3 or 4 digits, and no prefix.

You know you are old when you are having early bird happy hour with your friends and they give you the FAST test to see if you had a stroke when you start slurring your words...
naw just personal preference not age.
My 22yr old likes blued and wood I prefer stainless and fiberglass or maybe laminate for hunting rifle anyway...

You know you're old when the next major life event is your 27 year old Great Grand Daughter's wedding. 
And we damn sure won't miss that !!
