Not a lot to tell. The rifle above when I take my A-game to the range is capable of 1/2" and under groups at 100yds. I t hasn't been shot in some time. I do have a couple other TC rifles that see some hunting use, but most my hunting and shooting anymore are with Encore and Tender pistols. I have an Encore pistol in 22Hornet with a 161/4" FRO barrel that I turkey hunt with. For squirrel hunting I use a Tender in 14" 22LR or 14" 17MACH2. Deer hunting I use an Encore 15"FRO barrel in 6.5X55S.M., Tender 13"MGM in 30-30IMP., and presenting setting up an Encore in  16" MGM 6.5X284, and a Tender 14" SSK in 6.5JDJ that I hope to use next year. For varmint hunting I have a Tender 13" OTT in 6.5T/CU, an Encore with a 26" heavy factory barrel in 22-250 cut to 14" that is very accurate, another Encore .257X.225IMP (AKA 257JDJ). The 22-250 and the 257X225IMP. pull double duty as target pistols also, either are capable of 1/4" groups at 80yds.

Beautiful rifle!  Ed at Gunstocks Inc. does some good work.  Both my Encore rifles have the ambi thumbhole stinger stocks on them.

No Ed doesn't do the Schnabel. That was a factory style forearm that I cut the octagon channel and reshaped the tip.

I've made a poor man's target rifle out of my Encore as well.  I bought a TC custom shop barrel in 6ppc.  55 gr. Ballistic tips run out at 3450 fps and print in the .2's and .3's at 100 yds, sub 1" at 200.  I love to shoot it because of the low recoil and absolutely repeatable accuracy.
