I, like another posted, have an Encore pistol in .308. It's a dream come true. I handload around 10% below maximum load data for rifles. The recoil is comparable to a .357 Mag, maybe less.

The receiver action is the same whether it's a rifle or pistol. The trigger is crisp and light, mines right at 2 lbs. with no creep and once adjusted; no overtravel.

I am ordering the rifle stock components and a .308 rifle barrel so I have the capability to hunt with either as I choose.

Shoot often - Hunt always
