RE: Thompson Center Encore
I have an Encore in 7mm-08. I really like it. Still trying to pot a deer with the thing. Have had it out 4 times now, then let the girlfriend use it, since its the only oneI own that fits her. Going at it again tmw, it seems that everytime I carry the bow, I kill deer, they just won't step out before the encore!
By the way, I used a Talley one piece base/rings. One solid chunk of machined steel. It holds on to a VX-III, and with my handloaded TSXBs it shoots well under an inch!
Next barrel purchase is probably going to be a varmint caliber, 17 mach IV, 20 Tact. or 223.
