RE: 30-06 handguns
If you've never pistol hunted, I'd suggest starting out on small game with a 22lr to get used to shooting a pistol in a hunting situation. Hunting with a pistol comes naturally for some, for others, its a nightmare. Another thing to consider is the recoil. The recoil of the 06 in a Encore is not for the faint-hearted. The 30-06 in a properly equipped Encore is, in the right hands, a good 250yd deer pistol. I'm not passing judgement on you, but like you're buddy mooseslayer3, I think you need to sit back and take a good look at what you're getting into before taking the plunge.

I don't understand. Why would you want to do that? Sounds brutal, loud as h---, and really inefficient. Are there a lot of my "gun's badder than yours" contests in BC? I'm sorry, I just don't get it.

RE: 30-06 handguns
nvmike and roskoe, I was just replying about the 30-06 because that was the subject. My prefered caliber has always been the 308. I've owned two 308 Encore pistol barrels and both were great perfomers. But you may have heard of a fellow named Larry Weishun and the 06 is his caliber of choice in the Encore. And with his history of taking deer with a pistol, it's hard to say that the 06 is a bad choice. just a thought.
