Apparently either 'people' have less trouble getting them to shoot or lower standards...maybe both.
I have shot TC products for many years, never an Encore but plenty of G2s and Contenders. It is definitely a tinkerers gun and personally I don't mind at all....in fact I expect it anytime I purchase a new one. I call them winter projects. No different than the guy who goes out and buys a new Remington Mtn. rifle for $1000 and immediately replaces the stock with a $285 Ti stock for it I suppose.
I own alot of very accurate bolt guns and I own several TC carbine rifles that are every bit as accurate and in some cases more so. They do require a learning curve for shooting, handloading and rifle setup.

They are for some and they are definitely not for others.
