RE: T/C encore accuracy
I have an encore in 204. to get acceptable accuracy from a varmit round, I had to take to my gunsmith. I had to have a hanger system installed in the forearm, and the holes in the action and barrel milled to exact size and put in an oversized hinge pin. I know I lost my warranty, but TC wasn't going to do anything for me anyway. It went from 2" groups at 100yards to 0.7" or better.
Anybody that says, "its only the man behind the trigger", doesn't understand the construction of a break open rifle and what is needed to make them accuate.
