RE: TC Encore...is it worth it?
My TC Encore is my go to gun. 50 cal BP has put the smack down on numerous deer. With the Nikon Omega BDC scope, 150 grains with a 260 grain bullet, I'm dead on paper at250 yards.Anything inside that distance, doesn't have a chance. I have a 12ga smoothbore I use for turkey and a screw in rifled choke I use for shooting slugs. The 7mm Rem Mag barrell with Nikon Buckmaster BDC is a tack driver. Busted a 9 pointer at over 235 yards.
The rational of not being able to make a quick follow up shot with a TC Encore, sounds like that indivdual needs more time and practice on the range. One shot should equal one kill.
