Goodness, everyone has thier right to opinion but I am shocked everyone putting down these encores. Its the most expensive gun of the bunch. And I have encore, Knight wolverine, knight disc, T/C cougar. I am all for people giving out thier advise, don't get me wrong, but that and the omega would not be on my list for bang for the buck. Very nice guns that shoot real well, yes, makes you feel good holding a astetically pleasing gun, yes, but very surprised at these responses. Maybe if people's reasons were resale. I dont' know.
