You've not already traded!!??hehe I'd go for it, but its you that'll be making the decision. It really comes down to the money you've got tied up in the Browning. If the Encore is blue, its roughly worth $400 and the stainless about 450 without the scope. I don't know what your Browing is worth, but that'll give you some idea to judge by. Another thing to keep in mind is, if you decide to trade and would like to have another 7MM, you can buy that barrel for the Encore for less than $250 and it'll hook right up to the frame. Just a thought. BTW "Clark Kent", what part of Ky are you from?
