Ok, so I wound up doing some trading today and came away with a very lightly used .308 Encore with a Nikon 2.5-8 BDC pistol scope.
My problem is that the walnut grip just feels too short and while I can definately reach the trigger, I would like to have more grab on that slick trigger.
I have very wide hands, with fairly short and thick fingers...the factory walnut grip just isnt comfortable for me at all...feel like I would have no control over the recoil.
I also own an old style Contender and the factory grip on it is comfy to me...have no trouble at all with it shooting my .375 Win. barrel or .35 Rem. barrels.
Any other short fingered, thick handed guys out there have any suggestions on an after market grip that may suit me better for the Encore pistol? Was thinking of maybe a pachy grip?
