RE: New Deer Hunting Pistol 7mm-08
try the encore in a 260rem. I had one with a 15'' custom bullberry barrel, then sold the barrel when i wasn't using it anymore. It shot great. With a little less muzzle energy (only slightly less) than a 7mm-08 it makes a sweet shooting handgun.
The 7mm-08 is a good one too though, almost the same ballistics as a 260rem.
The good thing about the encore is that with the intro of the Pro-hunter, alot of used encore frames are popping up, and if you find one cheap you can splurge on a good barrel and scope.
