I have a Encore BP and love it. I have the SS lam. 50 cal. w/Leupold3x9.I shoot 120 grns. of T7 and 250 Barnes and get .5-1.00" @ 100yds. Easy to clean, w/stock configuration its a dream to shoot off-hand. Was alittle pricey at first but the end product(the way it shoots)was well worth it. Just my thoughts.
