Finally got to test out my buddy's encore --- I like it. Sweet trigger(about 1 1/2 lbs),nice wood and just feels right.Shoots better than I can see w/ that peep sight ---- tired old eyes are gonna need some glass if I want to reach out for those ground squirrels. This is gonna cost me some money I can tell.Scope base,cleaning rod guide --Already thinking of two barrels I want.Since they are heavy(bull?),I will need a new fore end.May as well get the camo stock set while I'm at it ....
