Contender G2 or the Encore.
« on: October 21, 2005, 01:36:10 PM »
What's the difference between the Contender G2 and the Encore. They both have both pistol and rifle calibers/stocks, as well as muzzleloader and shotgun barrels. Only differences seem to be that the Encore has a much better selection of T/C factory calibers and longer barrels.  

Any thoughts??

Quick and simple answer:

Encore is more beefy and can take higher pressures.

Contender shoots rimfire and most pistol calibers and some rifle calibers.  Encore most pistol and rifle calibers including .308, 30-06, etc.  Encore is about a pound heavier in similar trim than the Contender.
