Author Topic: G2 vs encore Light weight (Read 616 times)

How much weight saving could be expected using the G2 frame over my encore frame.

I guess the barrels of equal contour would weigh about the same?

Considering a 45 caliber conterder to go with my 45 Encore BB.

I have the G2 45 and it is significantly lighter. The frame is one pound lighter and the barrel is no where near as heavy as the encore. I believe my G2 weighs about 6.5 pounds with a 2-7 nikon scope included.

pigboy,

At 6.5 lbs. that scoped G-2 ought to be a joy to carry! How does the G-2 shoot? What loads are you shooting with it?

Thanks,

I shoot 100 grns 777 and powerbelt 190 or 195 grn bullets, I do not remember which weight bullet it is but I bought a whole bunch of them from Wal Mart after the season for $2 a pack of 12. It shoots great after I installed an oversize pin and had the QLA removed. Prior to the modifications it did not shoot worth a darn. After the modifications I can shoot all day at a 100 yard target and it just makes one big hole.
