First i want to say is I have 25+ barrels in encores,tcr and contenders and 9 frames total and another 3 frames and 10 barrels has pasted throw my hands and never had any problem grouping an inch at 100 yards ..NOT TO SAY I was just able to pick up a barrel some ammo and shoot an inch!!!! I had to do my part,wich was hard to do some times because I tend to be a little recoil jumpy,and always have to play around with ammo brand and boolit weight. also dipped in to reloading...and before someone asks some of my barrels I never shot at 100yards such as 357,45,44 and so on...
second LARRY
I read in a earlier post that your friend saw that the iron sight was putting stress on you scope IF the scope was put on this way and tighten down with iron sight in the way, then latter flipped down you MAY have unseen movement in the front of your scope may need to tighten front scope ring...just a thought..
AS far as a bigger pin goes that has always bothered me because the scope or front/rear sight are on the barrel wich means line if sight and boolit path will always stay lined up at the sighted in distance and I don't belive you would be able to tell the accuratelcey flaw would not come from a loose pin or the rounds recoil.
Last is I just bought a 7mm-08 and only shot 10 rounds at 50yards and the group was over an inch But did not have a good rest at the time and only first bran of ammo..What I would like is some info from you people on what bran and weight is being used with your encore..
I was also sighting in a 22-250 and a 223 both grouping less then a dime at 50 yards will go to 100 soon...
