TC Encore gets my vote. Out shoots both my remington and ruger heavy barreled rifles.

The five Ruger No. 1's and one No. 3 I have owned would all do at least 1" @ 100 yards, and some were better. This is "out-of the-box", with a scope mounted but no other tinkering. For example, my first No. 1, a 1B in 7mm Rem. Mag. bought in 1969, will hold 1" @ 200 yards (3-shot groups).

Keep yore powder dry!!

Now as far as Encores go I have never owned one but have seen many shot at the Gun club and I have never seen any outstanding groups by any of them and they were in all sort of configurations...custom..semi-custom with barrel or stock and their accuracy is nothing to write home about. Yet people rave about them so maybe I am seeing the rejects of the bunch. BTW I like Thompson Center products and have owned a number of contenders which were great handguns. If someone is getting 3" groups with a 1-v then something is seriously wrong...I see those things all the time in 220 swift and 243 that shoot incredible groups.

I've only owned 1 single shot, RUGAR #1 IN 25-06.
It shoots moa at 100yards and thats good enough
for me.

depending on what your looking for bench gun, low price, versatle, or what. I have owned several single shots. I have had several ruger #1's that all shot very well with right load. I have had afew of the NEF's and they all shot well for the money. I have a TC contender with several barrls and it shoots all them well. But the most accurate I have ever had was a Remington 40X in .223 awsome gun;

My H&R .308 shoots great. Still working on dialing in the scope but it's gonna be a shooter. I don't hand load but so far it is shooting factory loads very well. Best groups came from Federal Premium so that's what I will probably stay with.

I have just purchased the T/C encore 7mm. I have a Remington model 700 and had been hunting years with it but wanted something different. I'll see this summer how accurate my Encore will be and I'm sure it will do just fine.

I also have a H&R ultra in 25-06. mine shoots 1/2 to 3/4 three shot groups at 100 yards out of the box. not bad for factory ammo. With a little tweeking, and the right handloads I hope to get it better.

You guy's with the ultra 25-06's make me jealous. The one I had was the worst rifle I have ever owned. I worked over a year trying to make it shoot and finally got rid of it.
If it shot 4" groups it was a good day.
