T/C Encore accuracy?

[snapcrackpop]

Looking for a combo setup.

Any experience or read a good review about the T/C Encore?

I was thinking about getting a .204(now) and a .243(later).

It all started with winning another .17HMR at a banquet. I was busy helping the committe and my wife had to pick one. (she doesn't know a BB from a slug, which is a good thing and a bad thing )

So now I am looking to get something like a .243 that will double as a beginner deer rifle for the kids in a few years, and a varmint rifle. Thought about the Savage 10 or 11 in a .243 and came upon the T/C site.

Was hoping to stay under $200 to boot, but now teased by my options....

Oh yea, and I hear the NEF and Rossi get poorer accuracy.

On the Savage site take a look at the Stevens 200 model.

I wouldn't say the NEF shoots poor. my first yote rifle was a NEF ultra is .223 and it shot 1" groups at 100 yards with factory loads, so i wouldn't rule out that rifle. remember a rifle can only shoot as well as the shooter holding that rifle.

I have the Pro Hunter Model. You can check out extra barrels on Cabelas HSOforum. I just ordered my 243 barrel and it ran me 300 bucks plus the forends. I haven't shot it yet but I can't wait to.

Thanks, but no clip or Accutrigger on that one. Plus the youth Savage Model 10 or 11 comes with a 50% off coupon for an adult stock.

Roosterslayer, thanks that's good to hear. Maybe I'll put that back on the maybe list...

I also like the idea of many barrel options to add later (muz, shot, .17, .204, 30-06, etc).

More thoughts needed, thanks.

Ya I was going to say if you are thinking Encore, DEFINITELY go Pro Hunter. What a sweet unit!!!!
