I hope they don't turn the Encore into an abortion like this.

I guess I can't really blame T/Cs owners. They've put in a lot of work building up a good company and now want to cash in. It would be nice if S&W doesn't manage to wreck it.

Watch for the price increase of the Encores etc. by at least 30% in the 1st year or so. Guaranteed. T/C has a loyal following and S&W knows it. I intend to but a couple of Encore frames within the next two weeks.

looking for any feed back on a s/w 460xvr compensated hunter with a 6 1/2 barrel.also if a person goes with a type of large cal, whats a good scope setup.looking around before i purchase.
