Picked up a new Encore today and a new Nikon pro staff Inline scope for it. Guy in the shop installed the scope for me. Used a neat level thingy and a tork clicky screwdriver. First time i have seen one done that professionally. This is what i have chosen for my hunting rifle. I was originally going to go with the BAR but after holding one. I decided i didn't like it. They cheapened out the rifle using aluminum and plastic. The plastic mag release didn't even look like it belonged with that rifle and it was a brand new on the rack item. I know your wondering how i went from wanting a semi auto to a single shot. I didn't really care. I just wanted a comfortable to hold, ergonomic rifle that was of high quality. This one looks like it fits the bill more then any other i looked at. Generally my hunting trips consist of one shot at a time anyway and this way i won't be wasting time searching for my brass. I bought the rifle with the 209x50 Magnum barrel on it because it was a smoking deal. I wanted an inline muzzle loader anyway. I will be keeping my eyes open for a good deal on a centerfire barrel in the upcoming weeks. Possibly .243 Win. I was hoping to get a good all around cartridge for both Coyote and White Tail. Something easy to reload and light recoiling. Lets see what comes up.
