Notsure on the price heard it was only about $70 more than the old encore's.

I saw online somewhere that the Encore Pro Hunter 209x50Cal. was about $570 or so. All it is, is an Encore with upgrades to the stock, hammer, and comes with a new breech plug. It also comes with a 28" barrel thats fluted. Same gun as the Encore, same performance.

That's what they told me at the gun shop here in NH also. $725.
I think it's expensive, but probably worth it. I just bought a Encore and after two trips to the range, I'm in love! It's my fist ML and I find it really fun to shoot.
