[QUOTE="Bman940, post: 446841, member: 26379"] Just got back from a great hunting trip in Kansas. I always harvest some does for the freezer and to help keep the numbers down though I doubt anyone could tell. Anyway, I brought a Thompson Center Encore in .308 for my buddy to use. He has always wanted to shoot a deer with it so after he harvested a nice buck he tried out the "hand-cannon". The T/C is scoped with a Nikon Encore 2-8x28 Extended Eye Relief with BDC reticle. My buddy made a great shot at just under 200 yards using the BDC reticle circles to make an accurate shot. He said he put the first circle on her chest and it was a done deal. The Winchester 150 GR. SilverTip did the rest. Prior to the hunting trip I sighted in the scope for 100 yards then sonsulted Nikon's Spot On Ballistics MAtch Technology Program for the rest of my shooting information. I then printed a Field Reference Guide showing the corresponding distances for each BDC circle at each magnification. This made it easy for my friend once he ranged the deer. Handgun hunting is a a lot of fun and definitely adds a new dimension and appreciation for those that do it, definitely the Nikon Encore line of scopes make pulling the trigger a lot easier.
