Location: Silver Lake, MN		I have Shilohs and I love them.  I have owned a Caldwell too but just cannot afford them at this time and the Shilohs ride as close to it I can find for the money.  I would drop half a seat size in the Contender.  I ride in a 14" Contender and a 14.5" in everything else.  I have an add in the Shiloh FB page.

KatieMac88 - 2017-02-12 8:54 PM Thank you all for your help! It's not made my decision any easier though lol. They both seem so nice, buuuut I'm leaning towards the contender but they're so hard to find! Guess I need to learn to be patient.
I have a Contender and sure like it, it seems to fit both my horses real nice, and is comfortable to ride. The leather is not as soft and nice feeling as the Caldwells, but I am more than happy with my Contender. There is a Facebook page that is strictly devoted to  used Shiloh saddles for sale.
That's good to know! I'm following that Facebook page but haven't seen anything in 14" and 6 3/4 or 7 gullet yet. I'll keep watching!

 There's a Finalist that size for sale. It's the same saddle as the Contender except the swells are round instead of undercut.  I sold a Contender that size last year and had to drop the price lower than I wanted to get it sold. It was on the market for 3 months, and there were several for sale around the same time that weren't trophy saddles like mine.  You just have to be patient. 

Oh man! I hate I wasn't looking when you sold your Contender. I saw several sold back in the fall ??. I used to have an FX3 and I liked the undercut swells so I'd really rather have a contender than a finalist.
