Hi guys. Perhaps you guys can help me out a little. I'm looking into buying an Encore rifle for hunting. It will probably be in 308 Win. I have two questions before I try to make a decision though.
1. What is the weight difference between the hardwood stock and the synthetic stock? 2. Which (if any) would be more accurate? Blued barrel or stainless? Thanks.

Thanks I have my share of semi and bolt rifles for range use and hunting. I just thought I'd go with a single shot this time. With the Encore, I figure I can switch out barrels should I need to for different game.  You sound like me! I have hunted for several years with AR's in .223 and 6.8. Took my share of deer. After a while I just got to the point that I had to ask, why am I using a semi-auto for hunting? I only, ever, take a shot when I am sure that one shot would do the job. (I'm NOT saying there is anything wrong with hunting with and AR or any other semi-auto.) I built an Encore with synthetic stock, blue steel frame, and a 22" 7mm-08 stainless barrel with Cerakote matte black finish, wears a Burris Signature 3.5-12x50 scope. It's 36" in OAL. For me it's perfect. And I never have to think about a magazine. C_m |
