Flint as a fellow encore man, I can say nice job. I got the old encore and the new PH and love'm both. I take two when I go on a hunting trip cause you never know....I am a little anal retentative in that dept. Gotta have my encores!! I got my trigger work done by Bellm and it made a big difference in my groups out at 200yds. I hated the heavy triggerpull of the encores but now that my trigger is at 2 1/2 pds-- big difference. There are some good ML out there but its all about what you like when it boils down to it.
