RE: TC Encore???
I bought the .50 Caliber muzzleloader a couple of years ago and was very pleased with it. Then I purchased a .22-250 barrel and this year a .204, both were factory issue. I wasn't impressed by the groups on the rifle and did some research on what I could do to make them shoot better. The cheapest thing I came up with was a forend hanger bar made by Stratton Custom T/C Accessories ( strattoncustom.com ). I had my doubts, but I have to admit the results were good. Both barrels now shoot under an inch if I do my part.

I had an Encore a few years ago in 7-08. I just could not get this rifle to shoot well enough for my taste. I even sent it back to the factory twice. The best group I could get out of it with numerous loads was around 2 1/2".
I may have had a fluke but it sort of soured me on the Encore. I like T/C products and have several of their sidelock muzzleloaders and a Contender. And T/C's customer service always treated me right.

I have never seen a Encore that wouldn't shoot very well. But flukes do happen. If you want some prices (used or new) e-mail me and we can discuss options. [email protected]

I have a TC/Encore SST 300 Win Mag and its a great gun. The gun is very light once sighted in, a force to be reckoned with. The rifle is so smooth sounding that during rifle season I saw two Mature Does walking down a trail 30 yds from my stand. I shot the one in the front and other one didnt even know what was going on so I was able toreload and shoot the other one. Great Gun!

bought mine three years ago. Synthetic stock, thumb hole. It is hands down the most accurate BP rifle I have ever owned, in fact possibly most accurate rifle period. 150gr triple 7, Hornady 240gr.xp, sabot. The ballistics/traj. with this loads is off the charts!!! I never thought I would switch from traditional BP rifles, but doubt now I would ever go back. However, I have not bought rifle barrels for it, nor do I plan to.
