RE: T/C Encore Shotgun
My fiancee shot her first turkey last spring with a borrowed TC Encore 12 gauge. She absolutely loves it!
I have one in 7mm-08 that doesn't shoot worth a crap. It seems to be an isolate case, and I am in the process of getting that fixed (I think its a barrel issue), but she doesn't know it yet, but I have a 12ga bird barrel on the way for it so she can use it this spring. I'm sure she will enjoy it.
