Hey guys just an update about the Encore. I did get one for christmas, and i absoulutely LOVE it! It holds so tight to your shoulder because of the pistol style grip. I shot a doe Dec. 27 with the 50 CAL. inline barrel. Dropped her in her tracks at a dead run. about a 10 yard shot though. After i made the shot a 135 class buck popped up behind her and i already harvested my buck for the year so i jumped up and yelled at it and it ran over to my buddy and he downed it. But i give the Encore 2 thumbs way up , What a gun.
