RE: TC Encore
Ive got one and I love it, I have the muzzleloader barrel, a 22-250 bull barrel, 300 win mag , .243 pistol barrel, and .204 ruger pistol barrel. They all shoot great, and Id say shoot just as good or better than my other rifles. Only drawback is its a single shot, and lots of people cant get over that, but really you shouldnt need more than one shot very often. Now they have out the Prohunter, and it seems even nicer, a few new added touches to make it a little sweeter, like recoil reduction, 28 inch barrels instead of 26 for more velocity and accuracy, fluted barrels, (look good, and supposed to dissapate heat faster
) and the swing hammer, to clear scopes better. Get one you wont be dissapointed.

What do you guys think about the Thomsan Encore.. Does it shoot just has good as a regular rifle or muzzle loader or shotgun would?

You will probably pay somewhere in the range of 600-700 for a frame, barrel, and stock/forend. A local gun shop has a Prohunter in 22-250 with stainless fluted barrel and the black recoil reduction stock, all for $710, but hes a little high on his stuff usually. A freind of mine with an FFL found somewhere with a special price on Prohunter frames with camo stock and forend for a little under $400 and the barrels are about $250 each depending on what you get. Good luck.

RE: TC Encore
The Pro hunter you can inter change barrels on it to cant you like shotgun muzzle loader or rifle? I found them on this one web site for 684 i think but the only ones they had in stock on the pro hunter was a 338 mag. Im almost 15 i shoot guns alot would a 338 have to much recoil?

As far as price goes, a cheaper route would be to pick up a "standard" Encore receiver and put ProHunter barrels on it. In my opinion, the ProHunter model are overpriced for what you get. I have 5 standard Encores and love them all. I can't see a couple of hundred bucks extra for a fancy stock and engraved receiver.
