RE: Bolt action or Break open
Problem with many breakopens is no provision for cleaning the firing pin assembly. The Encore makes such provision and you can remove the entire action from the buttstock with relative ease- but doing a thorough cleaning on an Encore takes just as much time as a bolt gun.
I like to KNOW everything on a muzzleloader is properly cleaned and that is just not easy orpracticalto accomplish withmost breakopens.
