I have a TC/Encore SST 300 Win Mag and its a great gun. The gun is very light once sighted in, a force to be reckoned with. The rifle is so smooth sounding that during rifle season I saw two Mature Does walking down a trail 30 yds from my stand. I shot the one in the front and other one didnt even know what was going on so I was able toreload and shoot the other one. Great Gun!
