I ordered a new Encore barrel from Match Grade Machine in December, and it came in yesterday. I killed a pig with it today.    | ||

Jeff, Waidmannsheil!  How come it took you so long to get the scope mounted & sighted-in?  Pretty spiffy looking Encore set-up Jeff; gets my vote for C-O-O-L. For Sure; nice dead Porker although noticed you selected one attempting to make a fashion statement w/the Hairdresser job & all ..... W-W-What, er, WTF-Over? They didn't offer the barrel in 35 Whelen Rimmed?  Pardon my Cynism - Job Well done! Cheers, Number 10 | |||

Jeff, WTG! I bet that little rifle has some "Brisk" recoil with that 9.3X74R. Rusty We Band of Brothers! DRSS, NRA & SCI Life Member "I am rejoiced at my fate.

If you consider a warm loaded 308 "brisk", then yes, but I was pleasantly surprised. Of course, it weighs nearly nine pounds. | |||

My load was a 285 gr PRVI bullet, 66 grs H4831SC, CCI 250 primer in virgin Norma brass, and I haven't had a chance to chronograph it but should be around 2100 fps. As far as accuracy, the load grouped about an inch. | |||

She was facing me at about 100 yards, and I shot her slightly above but between the eyes. She bounced.  | |||

Nice. I really like the caliber. I hunt, not to kill, but in order not to have played golf.... DRSS | |||

Next time, you might think about shooting one in the chest, frontal, so you can dig the bullet out of her ass, and show us a picture! HaHa! That's a cool rig. I've been getting a little more interested in the 9.3, and I have an Encore too. Mind telling us what you have invested in the barrel? Good Luck, and Good Hunting! SFH REMANUS DURUS CORPS! | |||
