If I made the decision not to make it modular, I would go for a bolt anyday over it.
I really like my Encores, but I have almost completely changed over to a modular bolt gun myself. I have gotten into Blasers. They are actually almost as versatile (no muzzleloader barrel) but MUCH easier to change barrels, and out of the box factory barrel accuracy is second to none (that I own).
