Hi hunter338,

The Encore is on my list of rifles to get in the future. Currently I have a G2 Contender Carbine chambered for .45-70 on lay-away. I wasn't exactly looking for one but found one brand new at my local Gander Mountain priced at $340. I couldn't believe it and thought they had made a pricing error. As soon as I confirmed that the price marked on it was accurate I put it on lay-away.

I've owned TC products in the past and found them to be excellent. Good luck with your decision!

Dave
