Which model line would you collect more of? TCR or Encore? I have a couple of both at this point but was thinking of just getting rid of the TCR's and keeping the Encore line. Both seem to shoot the same.

The TCR limits you to the cartridges they built barrels for and I don't think you can get any custom barrels done. Match Grade Machine builds accurate Encore barrels for almost every common cartridge.
If the Encore had the same lines and ease of barrel change out as the TCR, it would likely be the most popular single shot rifle on the market.
I have 3 Encore frames, all on rifle barrels. I have been in and out of TCR ownership over the years and right now have none although I am hoping to find one with a few barrels.
Should you decide to sell your TCR's please let me know.

Along with a single TCR frame, I suppose one could also carry assorted barrels around on the shoulder in a bag, like golf clubs, and select just the right barrel for any particular shot presented.

Me thinks you are being sarcastic. Clever, but sarcastic.

Just picked up my first TCR today. NIB 87 with 7 mag barrel. Need a scope mount to shoot it. I have Icons, Encores and Contenders. The quality of the TCR is amazing. ![[Linked Image from ]]( https://i.postimg.cc/Hxzct0D3/A8308-B0-A-B2-DB-43-ED-95-E1-0-FF201-D2-C039.jpg)

Of the options available to me, I settled on a sawed-off and re-notched Weaver 405 base with Leupold QRW rings as the most esthetically pleasing and useful system: ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/CMCrB0wS/20-A15-F1-E-30-DD-4-A24-B889-833-C4-E78459-B.jpg) Scope on; scope off; scope back on again; zero maintained.

That dark stock looks amazing! It’s the lighting. The thing’s not really that dark. Here’s another photo: ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/xjs8QQC3/85-F2-D256-9347-48-ED-8-FC7-D48-E0-D1-AA6-F2.jpg)

I lean towards the TCR just because I like them more. The encore is certainly more versatile in terms of amount of calibers available.
