RE: Input on the Encore??
I have the 50 cal and 45 cal barrel for mine and love it. I don' t have any other barrels because I am partical to my bolts for regular deer season,but I plan to get a regular barrel to play with sometime.I hear that they are very accurate and you can get most cals you want for it.
You can check out the rest of the black powder on here and get some good info from other fellows that have them
