[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 3093, member: 12"] I have several of each with multitude of barrels. They are normally great what I would say is better than average accuracy rifles/pistols. I can get 1/2-3/4" with most of mine with minimal load work up. With the Encore you are limited to 26" factory barrels. You can order semi-custom calibers from Fox Ridge Outfitters or T/C Custom shop. Bullberry Barrels builds true custom barrels in different lengths and match chambers ($300). However, you will still have a 7 lb gun in a larger caliber that will have a hefty recoil in the more efficiant LR calibers. In other words it will rock your world. You can put a BR type foreend on them and make them easier to shoot from bags or rest. There is a guy in Utah/Nev that rechambers factory Contender pistol barrels into his proprietary calibers and shoots sub 2" groups at 500 yds. Bottom line, great guns to put in suitcase with different barrels for hunting trip, but I would not want to use them as basis for true LR rig. Like mine for what they are but not true LR rig (past 500 yds). [/QUOTE]
