I finally got my Encore. I have been shooting NEF Handis for years and have loved every minute of it, but have always had my eye on an Encore. I bought one from a friend today and I think I am in love. I ended up with the 209X50, a Ruger 204 and a 30/06(which I am hoping to trade). I think these will take care of all of my needs. I thank ya'll in advance for all the information I will be learning on here.
