I went to the rangeon Friday to continue sighting in my Encore and as I was loading for the forth shot and I rolled the rifle over to load the primer I noticed a crack [&o]about 1 1/4 inch long running from behind the hammer towards the back of the stock. This is a laminated stock and I thought they were supposed to be much stronger that natural wood, I have only shot <70 rounds through her and this is very disturbing. I called T/C and they said get it in the mail and they would ship the replacement stock ASAP. I did inform them I have an Elk hunt in the 1st week of Oct and they said not to worry it would be back well before then...I sure hope so. I'll let everyone know how this progresses...
