Sounds like it is Woodchuck time to me! Chuck is this a stock Encore, Forearm, barrel, etc.

sounds like my encore. i sold mine but both my TC Contender Carbine and Encore shot .204 like that. Good round.

Yes, everything about my Encore is all original, nothing special has ever been done to it!
No oversized pins, no free-floating barrels, no hanger bar systems, nothing!

This 204 barrel shoots better than my 221 Fire Ball on the same frame!
The best my Fire Ball will do is 1/2 inch and that's great!

Worst part of it is, there aren't many wood chucks left to shoot at!

I keep it right handy and if I see any coyotes near my brothers cattle, they'll learn what a 204 can do!
