Although I am an Encore owner I will concede that a solid action like a bolt will be more accurate but that is only if it can be shot well. Same can be said of the rolling block or Omega design. If you get right down to it if you get a real well made sidelock you have an exellent action.

It is about taste and what fits you. Bolt guns are harder to clean but shoot exellent. Break action guns shoot great as well but it is obvious with them you need to spend more money to get the good ones. Guns **** the Omega shoot exellent as well but again harder to clean. Sidelocks shoot great but you can't scope them real easy but if you normally hunt with open sights they will suit you just fine.

Guns come to you, you will be looking and one will just scream out "buy me!!" that is what you want to buy. Don't buy a certain model because of only hearing a couple of people brag about one gun. Buy one that fits you and you like the action, they all have good points.
