I just posted in The Lounge that Haus of Arms really thinks they'll be shipping SSK-50s THIS MONTH, for you other Contender guys. Always good to see Contender discussion going on. This the same ones from 4 years ago? Or is this another run?
Another run? No. They never delivered any of these. There have been parts and barrels but an SSK-50 frame has never been delivered.
I think this started in 2019. I'd have to go back and look at e-mails, but this is the same SSK-50 as was started a "few" years ago.
It's been a long-running saga, that's for sure.

Wasn't the .25-.222 called the Copperhead.... I always wanted a .25-.222 Magnum in something like a Remington 600/660 or SAKO... A friend WAY back when had a SAKO in .222 Magnum that he would never sell to me...he still has it.
The Howa actions would be perfect.

As much as I dote on the 222, I'd pick the 222 Mag/204 case for the ballistic advantage without moving up in action size or case diameter/bot-face size.

I've found that if the trigger adjustment in the frame is set for light let-off with one barrel, it might not let the action set with another caliber barrel* Just adjust the pull heavier and that will probably cure your problem*

The trigger "sets" independently of the barrel lock-up and can be "set" even without a barrel at all.
The trigger CAN be adjusted SO light that it may "unset" when a different barrel has to be closed a little more forcefully to get it to lock up - yet still within an acceptable range of "different," from one barrel to the next. I've READ that some, who shoot long-distance targets (silhouette) will adjust a trigger this way on purpose and then hold their trigger finger behind the trigger as they close the barrel to keep it from unsetting. OK on the range, but maybe a bit too touchy for hunting and such.
I agree with setting the trigger heavier. Each barrel seems to lock up a little differently, within an acceptable range, without causing problems.
I say "set," using quotation marks to clarify that the Contender trigger is designed like the old-timey set-triggers on muzzle-loaders - for the sake of anyone happening upon this post who is not familiar with Contenders.
