Looks great. I love my encore it was the first gun I had ever held that had a vertical grip angle. The year they came out a local shop had one someone ordered but didn't pick up yet. They showed it to me and I ordered one in .50 muzzle loader. It was my primary deer killing machine for years.

I cant decide on caliber. But I love single shots they are light and short, shorter with the same length barrel
of other actiind due to not having th 6 inches or so of added length for the action. That being important if adding suppresors and wanting as much barrel length as possible while still keeping the guns handling reasonable and velocity in an acceptable range.

Fun to shoot ain't it? And better when shooting deer. Plenty of ammo around.Cheaper than shooting a sabot deer slug.

When Illinois first let us shoot straight walls T/C didn’t make the barrel so I bought a CVA scout which shoots well but is a small framed rifle . I loved the drop on the T/C muzzle loader so when I saw the barrel I was sold immediately

If you don't mind me asking where did you get the barrel?I very been looking for a barrel in 6.5/55 for my Encore

. Edward Arthur Brown Co or EABCO

MGM match grade machine makes a lot of barrels in many calibers of your ever looking for something again.

Ty

Ive read poor reviews on Mgm barrels...no personal experience, but its worth mentioning that a lot of thorough research should take place prior to dealing with them.

It's been a long time since I was doing research i wonder if something has changed? Back then I was reading a lot of positive things and they were the go to for tc barrels thet shot better then the factory ones.

Could have been a bunch of shills making noise for them or likely people that dont actually shoot just buy gear and make reviews about how its the greatest. Or maybe something like ownership changed? I dont know but that whare I was planing on buying from when I ordered something. Now I have to hold off and look them up again.

Again, no personal experience with Mgm. I do have a T/C Prohunter and been thinking bout a 308 barrel in my future so I have been doing a little reading. These links above are just a start....enough to make me very weary of them.

Mine was a T/C barrel factory made

I really like my CVA Scout in 350L. Light, compact gun easy to get through the woods with and it will shoot better than I can shoot it.

Bought mine through EABCO also. And TC owns Green Mountain Barrels now.

Won’t argue that they really shoot well it’s just a preference issue for me

350 legend with the right bullet is a hammer on deer, wont use a 12ga ever again

So does a guy want a 350 Legend, the 400 Legend, or a 450 bushmaster? Is there a 300 yard straight wall deer rifle?

45/70 should do it lol

Good luck.

I've also been looking.

Thats the one I have lol. Seemed like I needed one of these too.

45/70 is a little too long, at least for current MI regs. 1.80" is the max brass length.

Co-worker and I made a wildcat of sorts and cut down a bunch of 45-70 brass and worked up aload

"Is there a 300 yard straight wall deer rifle?"


Yes, the 41 Great Lakes.
