I like mine. I got a really good deal on it, so that helps. Accuracy is acceptable. Not great, but 2" at 100yds makes it well within the vitals of anything I hunt with it. Has anyone done the trigger mods? Supposed to really help the accuracy.
All mine needed was a little brownells moly and it broke clean at 2 3/4#s. At least thats all the gunsmith said he did to it. It sure didn't help the accuracy any.
Big I suspect you are on to something with the screws and all with the Encore... but hell I don't feel like spending more money on that damn thing. I think its about to become a $600 single shot turkey gun....

but oh well screw it the girlfriend will be happy with it.
