I understand that brand of joy. I used to have a very sweet Encore in 308.
Sad to say shooting it was like satisfying a hyperorgasmic girlfriend...lots of fun till I figured out the magic wasn't in my fingertips ;o)
The other favorite hunting rig I own, and of late trying to make it into a target rig, experimenting with it’s accuracy with a new hanger and such is my new stainless ruger number 1 in 45-70.
I love that rifle, very simple, clean lines, shoots like a dream after I modified the hanger and some other tweeks.
