Hope that works, if not use copy and paste.   Don't forget to get the rebate form.

Personally I would choose the Encore but that is a GOOD buy on the Elite.
WHUT?

The Encore is easier to clean.
The Knight is more accurate, not buy much.
Knight will adjust your trigger, no charge.
The Encore trigger?
Flip a coin, you can"t go wrong either way

Which fits you the best?

Do you ever have need of iron sights?

How important is OAL of the gun to you?

What ranges do you intent to shoot? Tree stand or on the ground?

How important is a light trigger?

How important is 1/2" vs. 1" accuracy?

Is cost a factor as to price of the gun?

What bullets do you intend to shoot?

What powder type / charges?

I went for the Elite camo/stainless 50 cal, it should arrive monday, can't wait!

Treeclimber, If you deciede to go with the Knight I can beat Cabela's price on the camo/stainless by about $85.00 I didn't price the other colors but shoot me an e-mail and I'll tell you where. No big seceret it's a major store, but they only had a couple left. I had to look around because Cabelas was out of the exact one I wanted.
Dream big,
Greg
