[QUOTE="ENCORE, post: 855211, member: 33046"] A guy brought one over last fall needing a little help with it. He ended up bringing it over a couple times, as two of the scopes he had were bad (junk). Once we put a new Nikon on it, it shot very good. I shot it myself a few times and although I'm used to modified Encore platform rifles, this rifle handled pretty nice. It is lightweight, lighter than my Pro Hunter but, it handled well. I believe that being lighter, it'll carry much easier for someone that needs a lighter weight rifle. On the other hand, light weight and any heavy bullet with a higher charge, will most likely increase the felt recoil. We setup Paul's rifle using the FCX Lead Sled. Once he put a quality (one that wasn't screwed up) scope on it, he was grouping 1" to 1.5" consistently with it at the 100yd mark. We moved back to 150yds and he was keeping it at or under 2". His load was using CCI209M primers, 110grs VOLUME BH209 and Barnes 290gr T-EZ bullets. We tried a few of my 250gr TMZ's and they loaded a little tight but, once he gets the manufacturing marks shot out of it, they should load fine, if he wanted to shoot a lighter bullet. I know he's very happy with his....... A nice rifle in the price range. [/QUOTE]
