I have an Encore with several barrels. I have only shot the 25-05 so for being that the rifle is new to me. I only shot 3 shots the other day at 100 yards and all bullet holes are touching each other. This is very acceptable to my standards.Imagine what it might do with some handloading.Not that you can't do a fine job at hunting with lesser shooting rifles, I just will not have a rifle that shoots over1MOA.I now have to try out the 22-250 barrel to see if it is going to get to hang around or go to a gun show or e bay.
