I like my encore, got a turkey barrel, .25-06 AI barrel and a ML barrel. They all work well. The gun is so frickin ugly I like its looks.....for those who don't like to see them on the shows TC is paying for I have a real simple solution: give up sitting on the couch watching animal snuff-flic informercials and go out and do something real with your time. We don't have TV in the house, we have two young boys we'd rather not have exposed to all the chit that passes for entertainment in today's society and the wife and I don't have the time to sit around with our mouths hanging open and our brains in neutral. I got a young retriever that needs work, chickens, horses, boats, guns...all kinds of things better to spend my time on than television.. just my $.02
