I have TC's, and have played around with them since 73. First if you don't plan on going bigger at some point I would go with the contender, they are a little lighter, and most people that shoot mine prefer them to the Encore. Second ,what barrel length are you looking at, it makes a difference in how best to carry ,and for most how accurate they are.Third the 30-30 is a good choice it is flatter shooting than the 44, but when I lived in Pa I made many groundhog kills at 100 yrds with a 10 in 44 contender, I had a 30-30 barrel for years, but after getting one in 35 Rem I just about quit using the 30-30. fourth if you might want more power remember the calibers above are about the contender frames limits, while the Encore will take more than any shooter I know.
