To each his own but I had an Encore in 7-08 that didn't shoot worth a darn. I can't argue about T/C's customer service. I sent it back twice and they supposedly gave it a going over and found nothing wrong. A lot of people like them and maybe I got a fluke but the best I could get with several different bullet/powder combos was about 2". Not good enough for me. I ended up trading that rifle for a Browning A-bolt in the same chambering.
IMO the Ruger #1 is a much better single shot. Although the Encore has the advantage of swapping out barrels.
