Very accurate a head shot on a standing deer at 50 would be a chip shot. 100 yards would be pretty easy if you had a decent rest. The .17hmr is a wicked little round. It’ll scramble a deers brains.

America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

Swap the barrel out for whatever you are hunting You got me talked into it.Just looked it up all barrels from .22 to 416 nitro Thompson/Center increased the strength of both the trigger mechanism and the frame, and the Encore was born. Now rifle shooters could enjoy the same switch-barrel capability, in calibers ranging from .22 rimfire to .416 Rigby. Nevada bound
