I just bought a T/C G2 Contender with two barrels. One is a ported "Super 14" in 35 Remington with open sights. The other is a 14" 22LR Match with a Burris 1.5-4 Pistol scope.
I got it from a shop, and don't know if the original owner swapped the scope between the two barrels, or just shot the 35 with open sights. One hint I have is that it appears to be a stainless frame, the 35 Rem. barrel is silver finished, but I don't think it's stainless, the Burris scope is silver finished, and the 22 barrel is blued.
My question is will the Burris stand up to the recoil of the 35 Rem. cartridge. Due to the weather, I haven't had a chance to shoot it yet, so I can't really compare the recoil to anything.
