[QUOTE="Buttermilk, post: 1656884, member: 5262"] First, you must understand that an Encore typically can be finicky when it comes to accuracy. I've owned Encores and Contenders since the '80's. Now, understand they can be accurate (my 30-338WM 16.5" handgun bbl has been a consistant 1/2 MOA gun but only with certain loads, and my most accurate Encore I've ever owned). My bolt guns are more accurate than my Encore. If my purpose for the gun was primarily as a benchgun, the Encore would take a back seat to a good bolt gun. Encores make better hunting guns than bench guns typically. The barrels aren't free floated, the action requires it to be moved from the rest to simply load/unload, triggers aren't that great from the box (can be improved). If you choose the Encore, then you'll need to educate yourself on the nuances of the gun and what typically needs to be done to that type of platform for best performance. There's plenty of info online on making an Encore shoot. Just understand the deck is somewhat stacked against you as compared to a bolt gun. [/QUOTE]
