Thanks for the new forum Rick!

I've had an Encore since about "97" or so
& it is a fun system to tinker with. The barrels
I have so far are a 7-08 24" factory and a .454
Casull 15" pistol barrel. The 7-08 shoots around
an inch with no load development and the cannon
has not had any real development yet either but
is at least "minute of small pieplate" with the wide
open sights.

I've so far gotten the oversize hinge pin which
tightened up the slop a bunch and gotten the EZ
lap stone & spring to do a trigger job soon. Both
were from Mike Bellm's site/store.

I still pick the SUCKS 7 Mag. or the new MRC
25-284 as my "go to" but I'll eventually use the
Encore to put somethin' in the freezer.... So many
choices so little time.. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />
Good shooting, Bruce

I bought my first Ruger #1 in 1978. It was 1-V in 7mm Mag. It didn't take me long to learn that it was too heavy to hunt with. I sold it in 1980. Shortly thereafter I bought my 2nd #1. And a fair amount of them have passed thru my hands since. It took me 25 years of buying, selling, and trading to accrue the following collection.

GWN,

I have owned two Ruger #1-Hs in .375. Don't even ask me what possessed me to sell either one of them. Great rifles and very accurate. Someday I'll find another that is pre-Warning when I have a pocket full of $. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> the9.3Guy
