I think the Encore would be all the muzzleloader you would ever need... there have been a lot of Encore shooters that posted some impressive targets from them. I have heard a report of people cutting off the OLA but I wonder about this.
If you start the sabot/bullet seating having your sabot petals aligned the same way every time with your grooves, then there's really no need to remove that QLA. All you need to do then is sight-in accordingly. In retrospect, that QLA doesn't involve accuracy... just bullet drift. If you are aligning the sabot properly & it keeps shooting left, adjust your sights to fix the problem.
I personally love QLAs. I wish all my rifles had it.
