[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 146271, member: 10"] Screech, The Encore and contender are great handguns and if you want several caliber options, impossible to beat. That said, for precision handgun work, you have realized their limits, they are not very user friendly in the field. I would recommend you look at trying to find a used Rem XP-100. THey were offered in 223 Rem but if you can not find one, get the much more common 221 Fireball. Shot it first, I have had four of these in the Fireball and all have been 3/4 moa or under shooters out to 300 yards or so with good taylored ammo. If you want more, order in match grade barrel and have the XP trued and rebarreled to the 223 or 22-250. I have built dozens of these handguns and when built properly, they will rival any heavy rifle as far as accuracy is concenred. The best part, you can put a bipod on these without effecting the POI like it will on an Encore or Contender. If you want real precision handgun performance and also a huge increase in power capability, track down a used XP-100, you will not be unhappy. Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
