 Pro Hunter with a .243 barrel. Short term plans are to wreck havoc on the yotes! Bought some Varget and some 58gr V-Max pills to try out. Long term plans, it will be wearing a smokeless muzz barrel from SMI for next years deer season. I am waiting to see what happens with Indiana's PCR regs and then I may put a wildcat barrel on it for deer hunting. Gonna be fun playing with it, never had an Encore before. I have to throw in a good word for Frames Outdoor in Liberty, Indiana, great folks to do business with! www.framesoutdoor.net/Anyone have any good (or bad to avoid) loads for their 243 Encores to share? |

I was at Just Hunt's shop yesterday and hes got 4 of Encores sitting on the shelf with .35 WSSM barrels on them ready to go. Even if they change the PCR length rule which Im hearing is not going to happen its hard to beat a 35 WSSM for hunting whitetail deer. I sold mine a couple weeks ago to a young man and now in the planning stages of building something new for next year......not quite sure what Im going to build yet. h.h.

Yep, I sold it to someone I knew and he wanted it more than I did. I put together another one this week for his dad. It started out as a Savage 16 Weather Warrior with Accustock. The new Accustock is different than the non-accustock because its got a aluminum insert in the stock and the trigger guard is bigger because Savage moved the bolt release to the front of the trigger guard. I put on a BFG .35WSSM 24" stainless barrel and a Leupold 4.5x14 VXIII Boone & Crockett scope. I was going to shoot it this morning but rainy weather changed my mind. This gun should shoot as good as the rest of them. h.h. |

Great looking rifle!
I've taken a couple of yotes with my 15" .243 barrel, i started with the 58gr v-max since thats what my Tikka loves but ended up going to a 95gr sst through the handgun. Might be different out of the longer barrel though.
