[QUOTE="LeddSlinger, post: 960714, member: 65338"] It's a Thompson Center Encore fellas! The forearm of the stock attaches directly to the barrel! So I wouldn't worry about that very much... Those rifles will group sub MOA with the right ammo or hand load recipe. No reason a break action can't shoot with excellent accuracy. However, HSM is CHEAP ammo. I have only tried HSM once in my life and it was junk. You will find all kinds of mixed reviews about it on the internet. Some have good luck with it, some folks (like me) have bad luck. Either way, mixed reviews = poor ammo quality and consistency. You will find many less poor reviews on the more expensive ammo. If your rifle won't shoot Federal premium ammo into sub MOA groups, then it may not shoot anything that well. I would just foot the bill and get a box of Federal Premium ammo and a box of Black Hills Match ammo, both with 180gr bullets, and try it out. I'd be willing to place a wager that it can put one of those into a sub MOA group at 100 yards if the shooter is doing his part. [/QUOTE]
