RE: Encore vs CVA Optima
I personally own an encore & I know at least 8 others that own encores. I will say this, I do not know anyone that has ben unhappy with there gun! They all shoot great. I will be in Elkcamp this year with mine. TC's service dept. might be the best in the world. My encore had a problem with the hammer cocking, I called them 2 years after i bought it and they said send it to them ups& they would take care of me. I hadit back in lessthan ten days atNO CHARGE! My dad has several barrels and so do I , they all shoot very well. I have only ben around a couple of cva's and it seem's like you can only shoot what the gun will let you. TC's barrels are more foregiveing. Let's not forget about being AMERICAN MADE!!!!
