Default RE: serious T/C Encore question

Did i make a wrong move by buying this type gun?
i would say not, i love mine own/have owned 3 tc frames an old contender in 30/30 with a 14" barrel 1st T/C (sold to my dad)

i curently own a dedicated encore frame in a pistol, 7mm-08 w/15" barrel and a fixed 4Xpower leupold scope, 2nd T/C

the other frame started life as a 209X50 front stuffer, i have added three more barrels for this frame, now not to be a wet blanket but here is what i have found on this frame, it is not a barrel changer/shooter, meaning everytime i change barrels my poi moves, not bad/far offbut i always end up re-setting zero, all the barrels shoot great, less than 1" groups @100, and the best result for reducing my poi moving is to be sure and index the hinge pin, (it always go back into the exact same position). and in all farness this may still be something i am not considering. The only other problem with this frame was that the trigger was horrible, i started to do it myself, but decided to send it off, after a trip to mike bellms that took care of that and overall i am happy with mine, although i believe they are a better dedicated cal/than cal changers just from my experience
