The heart of this setup is the Bullberry 20-inch barrel, marked "Bullberry/Utah." It is a stainless steel, round-profile barrel with a recessed crown and is chambered in 7mm TCU. The single-shot break-open Contender action pairs well with this custom barrel for a purpose-built carbine configuration.
The receiver wears Thompson/Center's factory wildlife-scene engraving on both sides, adding a distinctive, factory-applied aesthetic. The overall finish is two-tone: a blued/black frame and a stainless barrel, and both the frame and receiver are steel.
This example is configured as scope-only with no iron sights. It mounts a Leupold one-piece base with rings and a Tasco variable-power scope using a duplex reticle, offering a straightforward, ready-to-use optics package.
The carbine configuration includes a black synthetic stock and a wood carbine fore-end. A sling swivel stud is present at the rear of the buttstock, and the buttplate bears warning text referencing minimum 16-inch barrels. An external hammer with a knurled extension is installed for positive manipulation.
Capacity is single-shot. The combination of the G1 Contender platform, 7mm TCU chambering, and Bullberry barrel makes this a distinctive, custom-configured carbine that emphasizes precision and simplicity.
