RE: TC Encore???
The Encore is my go to gun these days; own three. Two .50cal ML and a selection of rifle barrels that includes (.223, .270, 30-06, .405). All shoot great. The gun fits and handles great; it's compact and the wieght is reasonable. I love the versatility. Besides, I've been a long time ONE SHOT, ONE KILL hunter, so the Encore fits the bill nicely for me.
