[QUOTE="ATTISTUDE, post: 1643195, member: 93284"] I hunt with a Encore in 325 wsm w/15" barrel. it is extremely accurate. I have become really accurate and practice out to 400 yards. I shoot lying on my back, using my knees as a rest. i have taken Elk, Whitetail deer, and a very large bull American Bison with it. I don't use a brake as I don't like the added noise. I already suffer from hearing lose and severe Tinnitus, so no brake. the recoil is manageable, lots of movement but I will tell you it doesn't kick like a rifle. it's true that the factory trigger leaves a lot to be desired, but a good trigger job fixes that problem. this caliber would'nt let me shoot with a rifle scope, so I use Burris pistol scopes. I recently recieved a new barrel combo from Justin Sip, Sip custom guns, chambered in 6.5-284. it has an 18" barrel and I have built a suppressor for it. I wont be able to shoot this combo off hand, but then I don't practice that way. I always use support. I love the encore platform. As I have only my right arm, I don't think I could use a bolt actioned pistol. [/QUOTE]
