Assuming you don't change you handle, how about any of the WSM's?

What about a Brush Gun?
308 Win with open sights? Hard to beat the 308 loaded with 180 grain Round nose for the woods on deer or pigs.
45-70 Katadin carbine? Everyone NEEDS a 45-70. the short little bloop tube looks handy for the thick stuff.

20in 350 Rem Mag

Feddog82 · « **Reply #12 on:** February 16, 2010, 03:12:15 PM »

another vote for 6.5x55 but any .264 cal would be great!

Dude, I can get you info on 2 or 3 guys that already have one in a 300WSM, if you want to go that route, I will direct you towards a custom Mfg. that will do it. I almost bought one used on anther forum, but purchased a widcat that equals it, so I didn't need both.

Let me know if you need info,
Gary

Why Push What the Manufacture says No to

? If you want a WSM get it in a Heavy Bolt Gun.. I like My Face, Eyes and such. I know you can reload to lower pressures but why? Just never made good sence to me.

458 Win Mag Bullberry Heavy Barrel with the Answer System muzzle brake?

Dezynco · « **Reply #16 on:** February 17, 2010, 12:42:02 AM »

If I were a Encore barrel collector:

30-06, 300 Winchester Mag, 416 Rigby, and you almost everyone forgot - an 18" Full-Bull 22LR!

Hopalong7 · « **Reply #17 on:** February 17, 2010, 01:03:22 AM »

Everybody(no, I know everybody doesn't) wants a WSM or other short magnum chambered in their Encore.......Why??? I fully understand the advantage of a short magnum round in a repeating rifle...but in a single shot I see no advantage at all. Now add to that the fact that a lot of very smart people who know what they're doin' say "NO", don't do it. I'm not much of a "magnum" guy anyway, so I guess I just don't understand. $:-\$

BTW As to the OP's original question....as others have already said....MY favorite magnum...the 45-70 is the gaping hole that needs filling.

swampthing · « **Reply #18 on:** February 17, 2010, 10:34:14 AM »

45-70, 500g's loaded subsonic.

Encore28 · « **Reply #19 on:** February 17, 2010, 02:28:01 PM »

If a short mag is what you desire get the orignal short mag in the Encore............The .350 Rem Mag.
Also the .338 Federal is a short mag. These two are safe chambers.
I wanted a Weatherby caliber in my Encore but T/C will not chamber Weatherby calibers---Yeah I could find a custom guy to make one BUT why take the chance of having a disasterous situation???
