Finally got a chance to try it out tonight. No pics as it was starting to rain quite well. 180 or so lbs Nice buck for the freezer. just appeared out of nowhere..They are pretty jumpy here at the end of second season. Hit him behind the left shoulder a little high..came out the right side back a little he was quartering a little toward me. 57 gr H4198 and a 200gr sst. Made an exit hole you could about put a pop can through... Meat for the freezer... And now I can name my rifle. I shall call it "ShowTime"...seems fitting. thanks for letting me babble ;D

He may have been only 60 yards but the confidence had to be soaring when you pulled the trigger ;D. Good job!

12point, would you please share with me the information concerning obtaining a PacNor barrel for youe Encore. Please include cost, and wait time.
I own a first run Encore and have desided to get a after market smokeless barrel for it and would like to consider all options.
Thanks,
Arthur.

High end sabots, red dot, it was the cats meow. Hit my stand with high hopes, then as it got light laughed to/at myself when I realized I couldn't shoot more than 30yds in any direction |
