Nice dog.

I just bought(before deer season) a left handed thumbhole stocked Encore. The only way you could get the setup was with the ML barrel. I immediately took the barrel off and sold it. I do not like the Encore ML. I bought a 30-06 barrel. I can honestly say that it is the most comfortable stock I have ever owned. I liked it so much that I ordered another one. I can hold this rig better than any I have ever held. Maybe it is just the fact that it is rare to find a true LH stock. But I truly do like it. All I have to do now is send it off and have a trigger job. After taxes I have about $520 in the ML. I sold the barrel for $250. So I have about $270 in the frame, stock, and forearm(I kept it). I am very happy with this. I have seen the stocks only on E-bay for $250. That is why I ordered another one. Tom.
