The trigger on myEncore breaks like glass at 3.5 pounds. Matter of fact it has the best trigger of any factory rifle i havebought in the past20 years.There is no over travel at all. My Encore did have a somewhat rough bore that i smoothed out with jeweler's rouge.Other than that i do not have any gripes about my Encore at all: No "problem" with the QLA, no "need" for a whiz bang gadget that uses smallrifle primers, nothing. Last Friday i shot three consecutive three shot groups at 100 yards: All measured less than one inch.
