Got a TC Encore Endeavor!!! *PICS*
 

Some of you may remember I posted a topic about TC Encore's a few days ago. I was wondering what the differences between the Endeavor and the Pro Hunter are. I posted the same topic over on MML also and got a PM from a member over there. He had an Endeavor that he had only fired 5 times just to dial the scope in and he wanted to sell it. He said it fired great, but he wanted to invest in a very expensive bow and had to make room/money for it. I've been really wanting one so I bit. He only wanted $675 for it and was including the Leopold base and rings. Needless to say I was all about it. It just so happens that he lives in SC and I was heading his way this weekend to do some hog hunting. So I met him in Darlington, paid him and drove off with this beautiful gun!















The whole deal was so coincidental is was kind of spooky. This is the exact version of the Endeavor I wanted. For that price and being that I was able to buy it in person and avoid finding someone with an FFL to have it shipped to, I just couldn't pass it up. I'm stoked!!! And it is super clean! Other than having to scrub all the Bore Butter out of it, the thing is spotless!

Congrats on a fine gun

WOW, I'm excited for you. I have one and love it. Let us know how it shoots. Are you going to try BH209 in it. Mine loves the stuff. I have the same rings and bases on mine with a Simmons Aetec 2.8 - 10 X 44.

RE: Got a TC Encore Endeavor!!! *PICS*
 

Yup. I shoot nothing but BH209. The only way I would use anything else is if I purchased a gun that had a breech design that wouldn't allow it.

I'm not sure I like the base/rings. It looks like it will cause the scope to sit way too far forward for my liking. It's already about a half inch ahead of the breech plug and then another half inch before the ring. I plan to mount a Nikon Omega and it already had crazy eye relief. With that much relief I'm not sure I'll like it. I'm going to order the scope and try it out first before I decide whether or not I'm going to swith to a different mounting solution.

I usually do not get too excited about an inline for looks, but MAN THAT IS A SWEET LOOKING RIFLE!!!! That would be the exact model and features if I ever convinced myself into getting one. I want to see some of your range reports because your so careful about them and take time to do it right. I am sure that will be a good shooter. It sure is sweet.

RE: Got a TC Encore Endeavor!!! *PICS*
 

Thank you sir! You can bet that as soon as I get the Nikon Omega mounted I'll be at the range. And I'll definitely take some notes and pics. But it will be difficult to achieve the range reporting superiority that you display when you post.:)

Great looking gun, and at a super price! And if you haven't shot one with the flex-tech stock you'll love it too.

RE: Got a TC Encore Endeavor!!! *PICS*
 

I think you will like the "Flex Stock" . I have the Pro Hunter with it and I believe it does make a difference along with the Limb Saver recoil pad. I think that BlackHorn powder has a sharper recoil curve compared to black powder or Pyrodex.

beautiful gun

RE: Got a TC Encore Endeavor!!! *PICS*
 

That is a Sweeeeeeeeet looking Gun, congrats!!

RE: Got a TC Encore Endeavor!!! *PICS*
 

Thanks fellas! I really appreciate all the compliments. I have definitely found a new passion in muzzleloading.

RE: Got a TC Encore Endeavor!!! *PICS*
 

Very nice looking gun, i am impressed....

RE: Got a TC Encore Endeavor!!! *PICS*
 

I do not like the sculptured look of the Endeavor... Very happy with my Pro-Hunter... though you do need to be careful when removing the breach plug...

RE: Got a TC Encore Endeavor!!! *PICS*
 

I'm having a hard time understanding what you don't like about the Endeavor....


Pro Hunter


Endeavor

RE: Got a TC Encore Endeavor!!! *PICS*
 

[1] they both look the same ????? am i missing something ????

WHY SHOULD HE BE carefull removing the BREECH PLUG ????????????????/

RE: Got a TC Encore Endeavor!!! *PICS*
 

The only difference is the breech plug can be removed by hand on the Endeavor (which makes the barrel a little longer) and you use a wrench on the Pro Hunter. You only turn the plug a Quarter turn on both rifles to remove it. Other then that and the engraved pattern on the framesI think its apples and apples.

RE: Got a TC Encore Endeavor!!! *PICS*
 

It's a beauty...what's not to like?

RE: Got a TC Encore Endeavor!!! *PICS*
 

no I don't like the stepped pattern on the receiver...

with the pro-hunter you can scrape your receiver or scope when removing the breach plug if your not careful... you use a tool to pull it out of the barrel....

RE: Got a TC Encore Endeavor!!! *PICS*
 

Yeah, but the Speed Breech XT makes up for that one extra step it has on the receiver. :)

Congrats, that is a sweet looking gun.
