Default Thinking about adding an Encore

Handled an Encore at Gander Mnt. yesterday. It was a .50 cal with the blued barrel and black synthetic stock. The price was $469 I believe. I love my Omega but what will one more MLhurt. Plus, I can get a new fore end and barrels for centerfire cartridges down the line. I am not sure how good the price is but I have a few gift certificates.

Check out the Endover Encore, I looked one over the other day, I only have 17 muzzleloader and I need one more to make it even, now all I have to do is convince the wife. Lee

Lee, that's the
Encore Endeavor...


Endover is funnier though.

Let us know how you convince her, we all need to know your logic.
I am sure her response will be "Lee, you need another MLer like I need a hole in the head." and you can say what to that?

I love mine





I killed two deer with it that day
245 grain Powerbelt AT over 2 - 50 grain Pyrodex pelletts
The buck was about 85 yards and the Doe about 100
Both dropped in their tracks as far as I could tell,if they did move they were down before the smoke cleared.
They were shot at Fort MCcllean in Anniston Alalbama 1/15/08 within an hour

That is a good price.
I paid a little less for mine because the camo was discontinued (big deal) and they were having a 30% off sale.

I do wish it had some of the features of the Pro Hunter / Endevor like the speed breach,swing hammer (I put an aftermarket spur on mine for right or left) the extractor that moves out of the way so I can pull the breech plug without removing the barrel.
The barrells are quite pricey,I think in some cases you could buy a new gun for what they charge for some of the barrells plus a new forend.
But to me nothing else feels like it,I just like it
I have a 270 barell for it also

I would get it,thats a good price
