Boyt Harness Thompson Contender Case

Nice case. One of the few I found that would fit my Diana Bandit Air pistol.

It worked until I put a fore grip on a rifle, wouldn't work afterwards.

Good size, good protection I had some problems with the zipper but now looks like it is working

Quality is great, outstanding price point. Fits a scoped Super 14 like it was made for it- oh wait, it was! Goofball who said tags inside were ugly, wow dude. Flick of the wrist they were off and in the trash with no seam damage. I'll be happy with the case for decades I am sure. Oh, and I love the moss green color, it's quite a dignified look for a dignified weapon.

Only needs a divider for barrels and it would get the fifth star

This is clearly a heavy-duty, well-constructed handgun case. My personal Contender G2 is a scoped Super 14 in .22LR; it fits with room for me to also easily toss in my safety glasses, a pack of foam earplugs, and a fifty-round box of ammo for the range. Since this is all I personally need for a practice-session, the case therefore also doubles as my range-bag. (Note that my Contender is all-stainless and fitted out with a plastic, scar-resistant grip and fore-end; people with fancy wood and bluing exposed to rubbing against other items will _not_ want to attempt this. Or, at least, will want to employ a padded inner case or something. To be clear, there are no internal subdivisions, just a single large open pocket meant for the gun alone.) My Super 14 fits well, and while I can't say for sure a 15" custom barrel might maybe be okay as well. An out-of-state friend owns a 15" Encore; if the opportunity to test-fit it in this case should ever by chance arise I'll update this review.I can see why this case is sold out all the time. It's not only a good buy, but if there's a viable alternative out there at anything like the price I failed to find it. The Contender is a unique firearm and therefore demands unique, sometimes hard-to-find accessories. This, apparently, is just about the only option on today's market. I'm just grateful that it's a perfectly good one.

Based on the dimensions of this case, I took a chance that this would be suitable for my Henry AR-7 Survival rifle. It's perfect, provided, of course, that you have the rifle broken down and the components stored inside the buttstock. The soft flannel padding inside is a nice touch. The only thing that might have made it better would be a double-zipper arrangement. This has a single, quality zipper, and I'm happy with it, too!

Over the past couple of months I have bought two of these for my husband's TC Contenders. The first was nicely finished and fit his contenders comfortably. They both have 14'' barrels and one is scoped. The second one was not as good, ragged stitching and some sort of stain on the Boyt label. A local shoe repair store fixed it up nicely. We still feel it is a decent value, but my husband has said if SKB ever makes a soft case in this size he will buy that instead.
