Tikka's are nice but... Why limit yourself to one caliber when can put any caliber on the Encore for the cost of a barrel. I own a "few" barrels for my Encore and they are all accurate. Haveing one shot will make you a better at shot placement and a better hunter! Last year I spent a few thousand dollars to go on a guided pronghorn hunt in New Mexico,the gun I took was the Encore in the 25-06! And I did take a nice buck. I have a safe full of Remington 700's but the Encore was my first choice...<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
