I have one of the NEF Ultra Varmiter rifles and I also have an Encore pistol in .260 Remington. The Encore is a far superior firearm. Surely tou can't expect a forearm that fits a muzzleloader or a shotgun barrel to fit a tapered rife barrel.[:-]

Anyway, I love my NEF, but I'll take an Encore any day over it. It is 100 times more versatile.
