[QUOTE="HOGGHEAD, post: 181295, member: 9107"] [b]Knight LRH[/b] I have done exactly what you described. IMO the Encore (as far as accuracy is concerned) does not stand up to the long range hunting. We have two of the long range hunting's. They are awesome. With the Leupold B&C reticle they are dead on out to 225 yards. I have had some success with the Encore's, but have personally had bad results also. I have also seen several other people have problem's with the Encore. I have a good friend who shot his Encore for two weeks, and could not get it to shoot properly. He took the Pro Hunter back to Cabela's in Wheeling, WV and purchased a new Knight long range hunting. Two range sessions and bingo. He killed a beautiful 10 point in Illinois this year at 210 yards, with complete confidence. The downfall to the LRH is that it takes two more minutes to clean. Personally I prefer the Disc. I think the priming on the Encore is part of the Encore problem. There has to be some blowback(at least the primer) to the breech face when you close the action. Tom.
