Just got back from a Utah deer/elk hunt. I used a T/C encore, shots were 15 yards on the elk, and 210 on the deer. I thought the encore was easy to pack quick to load, easy to clean, compact, and shot well.
A buddy had a customized Rem 700 UML, It made a shot at 230 yards, It was long, HEAVY, and slow to load. It is very accurate. That being said he plans to buy an encore as a backup/light ML.
