I was going to buy the tc encore but was told the new savage smokeless ml was out and could shoot 1/2 groups at 200 yards. this ml is new to the market I read the specs on the web page looks real good. I dont know the price or the options yet. Just think no more cleaning at the range {smokeless powder}. smaller loads more power ,just like a rifle.any opionons christmas is coming and I think I would like It under the tree.This ml shoots speeds over 3000 fps.
