Hey thanks there Rammer,

So if you were to pick between your Enco re with the optional barrel choices or just sticking with the Tikka. Which one would be the one that you would pick between?

In your opinion is the Pro Hunter improved enough to make it worth choosing over the standard Encore? The reason that I am asking this is the local shop here in town still has a few of the Encores. They are priced in the $500.00 range, which makes it very tempting. I have heard that the new stock design was agreat improvement along with their new ram-rod. Although I am seeing mixed reviews on the new breech plug design, kind of a love it or leave it, on that one.

I live only 60 miles from Alexandria, MN and they have a great place their that really specialize in the aftermarket barrels for the Encores. I like the pricing also on the standard Encore barrels they are substantially lower in price which is a plus.

Mike
