Thanks to searching on this forum and others, I finally went out and ordered me a encore. Ordered a Pro Hunter 50 cal. muzzleloader, stainless, flex tex stock. Had my heart set on the 20 gauge rifled barrel, but figured the 50 cal. would be the way to go.
I am active duty Air Force, been in for over 12 yrs now. Stationed in MO at Ft Leonard Wood. Hopeing by ordereing the encore, it will be easier to move one gun and a few barrels, instead of a bunch of guns everytime I move. I plan on getting mea .223 barrel for coyote hunting, some deer caliber, and maybe a .17hmr, and depending on where I get stationed at next, some bigger caliber for whatever happens to be around that area.
I have learned alot from reading this site. I have noticed either people love the encore or they hate it. I've done about a year of research, I'm thinking I'm going to be one of those that love it. Thanks for the info you post on here and have a good day.
