I completly disagree. Love the Encore

I continue to get the exact sameaccuracy with every barrel for my TC Encore.7mm Rem Mag, 12ga turkey, 50 cal BP. Unless your banging on the scope to get your hinge pin out, how is removing this pin impacting the alignment of the scope to the barrel???????

2 season ago I removed the 50 cal BP barrel and replaced with the 7mm Rem mag. No sighting in needed. Knocked down my biggest deer of the season at just over 275 yards. One shot one kill.

This year I was hunting multiple VA. counties during deer season. One county onlyallows shot guns and BP, and the other county I was able to use my 7mm rifle barrel. On back to back days I shot adoe with the 7mm Rem mag and the next day I shot a doe with the 50 calBP at 150 yards. One shot, one kill , on consective days, with 2 different TC encorebarrels,with the same action and hinge pin.

Maybe you need some better glass and have them install by a professional gun smith. Nikon BDC's
