Strutnbps,

I ultimately say to each his own, but why on earth would you buy a 10 guage and then look for low power shells? That is like buying a truck with the biggest motor the company makes and then putting a gas saving chip in it!

Just for the record, I personally witnessed a turkey taken at 61 yards with a 3.5" turkey load with a scoped 12 guage. Plenty of gun for a turkey.

Well, just like all of my other guns, I would like to shoot the 10ga. at paper and stuff. Yes, I have a 12ga. 3.5'' and know what they are capable of. I've just always wanted a 10ga. and once you get a "want" itch, its hard to scratch it with anything else.

As for trucks, I know plenty of guys who program their computers for play, then go back to the factory settings when they hit the pavement to save gas.:D

Everything you said is so true. We are such a sad bunch! I have the encore itch right now. Actually I've had it for a while now. I'm resisting but of course no man is perfect!

Yes, the Encore's are some fine guns. I just can't see spending that much money for a single shot, then having to pay that much for the extra barrels and still have the SAME gun. LoL.....Some people like only having one gun for everything. I am the opposite, I like building the collection!:D
