POI Shifts
« on: November 06, 2007, 10:28:10 PM »
I don't yet own an Encore but am seriously thinking about one. Seems like an easy way for left-hander to get hard to find calibers. My question is how large of a point of impact shift do you get when switching barrels?

I switch barrels all the time with no POI change.

With one in good condition there is no poi shift.

Thanks for the info. Should be purchasing Pro Hunter frame very soon. Now just have to decide on caliber!

With break action guns POI shifts are more an indication of inconsistent setup than just switching barrels. I switch many times a day on occasion with no noticable POI shift at very long ranges.

All of your sighting is mounted on the barrel, so as long as your sights/scope haven't been jostled your POI should remain consistent.

No problem with any of my barrels.
