I picked this up yesterday. I had some issues with the CVA, so I returned it.
Tried for the first time triple 7. Don't believe I'll be going back to stinky ol' pyrodex anytime soon :grin: Right now I have a Banner 4X scope on it, until I can save up enough pennies for a better scope.

Welcome to the best muzzleloader out there, "in my opinion." That is a good looking rig you got there. I have 6 Encore frames and 3 are muzzleloader's. I have a stainless 50 cal M/L set up with a Fox Ridge walnut thumb hole stock and a Leupold VXII 2X7X33 and 25ACP conversion. I have a new Pro-hunter 50 cal M/L , what a sweet looking set up with a Leupold VXII 3X9X40. I also have a blued 45 cal set up with a Leupold VXII 2X7X33 and the 25 ACP conversion with a gray laminated stock & forearm. I have tried a lot of muzzleloaders and nothing comes close to my Encores.

Great looking gun! Forgot to tell you before, if you haven't already learned, you might want to get a Simms Recoil Pad for that butt stock. Your shoulder will certainly appreciate it after about 10-20 shots.

Also look here for some good advise on the Encore. http://www.eabco.com/MuzzleLoader01.htm

JUST ORDERED THE SAME GUN WITH A GREY LAMINATED STOCK. SHOULD BE HERE TOMMORROW, CAN'T WAIT TO SHOOT IT. I LIKED THE MULTI COLORED STOCK TOO. BUT WENT WITH THE GREY TO MATCH THE STAINLESS.
