RE: T/C encore accuracy
I had an Encore in 7-08 that I could not get to shoot to my satisfaction. I even sent it back to T/C to have it checked. I guess the rifle did have acceptable 'hunting accuracy' as they say. Normal group size was in the 1 1/2" - 2" range. Just something I couldn't live with. I traded it in on a Browning Micro Hunter in 7-08 and never looked back. Funny thing though, that rifle was stolen from the gun shop a week after I traded it in. Unlucky rifle I guess.
