RE: T/C encore 308 PISTOL ?????????
yes to the recoil question.
if you want to find out what recoil is step up to a
375 JDJ or a 444 marlin the recoil is on the severe side, soft rubber grips are a must. most people that i have let shoot it hand it back after the first shot. there wimps, i shoot itfrom tree stands.
at 200 yd the 7-08 should just be getting warmed up ,i shoot a 7-30 waters out to 400yd it will repeatedly take out that plate with amazing accuracy. very good groups as well.
