Not really they really are the pretty much the same gun unless you want to change barrels to centerfire... other than that when you compare ML to ML they are next to the same
Not really, the Triumph is designed alot better then the Encore. The hinge pin on the Encore is way to inconsistent. The lock up on the Triumph is really good and wont change. The encore will change POI just by sliding the hinge pin. PRbullet and many companies made a fortune correcting that design. Trigger springs to. The Encores have had horrible triggers out of the box. All mine went to the gun shop to get spring put in. The handy guys did it themselves. The Triumph trigger is under four lbs from the factory guaranteed. One of my Encores was 7.5lbs out of the box. That's bad and that was a few years ago.
Any current Encore owners you should tape your hinge pin for more consistent performance. Sounds crazy, but it works. Both sides that is.
I think this is why you and I clash Grouse. You take your personal experiences with certain items and pass them off as FACT like every single item on the market is going to be identical to yours. Maybe you got an Encore with an inconsistant hinge pin... but that doesn't mean every single Encore ever made and yet to be made is going to be like that. Just because you have a Triumph that shoots better and has a lighter trigger than the Encores you have owned doesn't meant that every single rifle ever created is like that.
And another thing. Why would TC commission you to conduct tests with their products and BH209 when they have plenty of professional people to do it. Why would they waste their time and money having an amateurwith nocredentials do this??? Just curious because I think you pump yourself up a lot and make yourself sound a lot more important than you really are.
