encore or prohunter?

[bubbadad]

ok kids, i have gone crazy with contenders, now i am thinking of starting to mess with encore platform. my question is the pro-hunter the same as an encore with a fancier stock?

Another feature of the Pro Hunter is the swing hammer .

You can even get fancier and go with the endeavor.

I have a fairly early Encore (standard) with the set-screw behind the trigger that I bought new.  It's got a great trigger and functions very smoothly.  Had a buddy that bought a new Pro-Hunter and neither one of us cared for it.  It felt gritty and stiff all the way around, so after checking out a few other Pro-Hunters in some stores to find them all the same, he ended up buying a used, older Encore frame and has not gone back.

I have no experience with the Endeavor, but I can't imagine them being much different than any other Encore platform frame being produced today.  Just my $0.02, but with these newer frames out, you can pick up older, standard Encores fairly cheap in comparison and may get a little better trigger and smoother operation...

Make sure the frame you get has the overtravel screw.

You can send your Encore in and T/C will convert the hammer to a ProHunter swing for about $70 bucks.

I own both and don't see much difference other then the hammer and lettering.
