You are talking about a Encore not the Contender G2.
I use a Encore in 7-08 for deer and the recoil is not bad ,I strongly recomend ear plugs for the muzzel blast .
My gun/load shoots about 1 1/2" at 200 yds off sand bags with the Bushnell 2X6 x32 scope
I can not do that from the stand but it is a true 200 yd deer gun
Not sure of the price for a complete gun I bought a recever and barrels and rifle barrels and rifle stock at different times
Worth it you bet for the litness alone and the looks you get draging out your deer from the deerless hunters
