Find a good used Encore. Also a new standard Encore will not cost much more that $400. You will not be sorry. The Encore system is great. I really like mine. My 30-06 Encore is my go to deer rifle, and I have rifles that cost 10 times more. The Encore is a fast handling rifle that feels like a full size rifle, yet it's shorter overall length allows great manuevering. And 1 shot is all you really need.Tom.
