I began hunting with single shots in 1987. I have over 30 one shot kills, 90% with Encores & 10% with bolt guns (Ruger 77 & Wby Mk V). While I do not possess any magical shooting prowess I must say I much prefer the s.s. over the bolt gun.
I don't think Encores are high end guns but I do like mine. My current heartthrob is a Wby Mk V but my Encore two barrel set in 7 Wby and 280 Rem is sitting on HOT standby!
