Yes about 14oz. The mountainerr is 5" longer, with a 1" shorter barrel.

Earlier this year I ordered both the orange discs and the full jacketed red disc. I ordered the pliers for the primers on the full jacket discs. I ordered a Knight cap. I waited quite awhile and finally called them. They told me they were waiting on the cap to get there. I about had a heart attack when I saw what they are charging for the discs. That's my only experience with these new people. I know when Tony Knight had it I got top notch CS. I sure hope they can turn it around.

No doubt one of the finer features of the Encore is the fact that you can have a longer barrel in a shorter overall rifle length. And if you go with a shorter length barrel you really have a handy setup.
I know that is one of my favorite features of my Encore's. And my Encore CF is my go to deer rifle, and has been for years.
I have had some problems with the Encore MZ's. But then alot of guys I know have had great luck with their's. So I would have to give the Encore in general an A rating.
I just think they are a bit finicky with the MZ barrels. But I think alot of that has to do with the basic two piece stock system. And their MZ barrels are tight. Tom.

Head0001 , The only thing I see wrong with your gun is that it's wrong handed . All joking aside that is some good looking wood on that rifle and a very sweet scope.
I have a friend that changed out his mz barrel to a TC7mag barrel for a elk hunt in UTAH .You were talking about some being finicky , Well this must of been one of them . Because after $200.00 in bullets and 3 days at the range he found a shell it liked and did a fine job at over 300 yards may I add on a 6 by 6 bull .
