[QUOTE="BEEMAN, post: 1748771, member: 38130"] My encore is a older version. Not sure but 12-15 yrs old. Stainless with black plastic stock. I’m currently shooting I think a 360 gr Precision rifle all lead hollow point bullet with 120 by volume of loose 777. Kicks like a horse off the bench! Recoil isn’t bad shooting off hand. Bullets have performed great on deer. I tried some of their polymer tipped lighter bullets and they didn’t kill well at all. I should try some BH 209. Mainly want something that will reliably shoot 1-1.5” at 100 yds all the time. Also something that is manageable in the recoil department. Most of my hunting is tree stand in thick cover. Shots are typically 30-70 yds, no farther. If hunting fields which is rare I’d shoot to 300 yds. Farthest kill with the encore is 235 yds. How’s the recoil with a smokeless shooting a 225-250 gr bullet at a medium load? Not opposed to a brake. All my other Center fire guns have brakes. [/QUOTE]
