"The one thing that really kills me is the .25 conversion, dude the gun was made to shoot a 209 primer and it does it very well. It also, I know this is shocking to some was made to shoot a standard shot shell 209 primer. You know the $15 per thousand Winchester type. Now again I am not an expert but I have NEVER had a problem with the rifle shooting or cleaning the way it is suppose to with a standard 209 primer.

Next someone is going to tell you the hinge pin is no good and you need to buy an aftermarket one. Well OK you just paid $600+ for a rifle with a lifetime warrantee. If you have a problem with the rifle locking up with the factory pin let me know you will be the first case I ever heard of.

Now just when you think it is safe to shoot your rifle someone will tell you the QLA is screwing up your shots. (At this point you are already shooting MOA but you bite) They tell you you need to cut that portion of the barrel off so the gun is harder to load but more accurate."

Bingo!!! Love my Encore just like it come from the factory. It does have the swivel type extractor.

Had it to the 100 yard range the other day.Everyone else was shooting their high powers in anticipation of deer season. Shot the best groups on the range with my .50 caliber M/L Encore. Other shooters were amazed.
