I'm think of getting an Encore (rifle) for my youngest daughter who is 10 yrs old. Who has the best prices??? The only places I can find them are on GunBroker/AuctionArms and no one has a complete setup in the caliber I want (.243 Or 7mm-08). I like the idea of her being able to grow into one rifle for just about anything.

Wes,

I bought my SS Encore in 7mm-08 with 24" barrel and synthetic stock from a local sporting goods store. They were able to find it from a distributor they use. Buying the whole thing together should result in a cheaper price than buying separate components. Basically it's like getting the stock for free. Because 7mm-08 is a fairly common caliber for the Encore you should not have much trouble finding one. I suggest using a local gunshop that you know and trust. I avoid the cheap discounters and do business locally with someone I can trust. They appreciate the business and try to give you the best deal they can. I like to know that they are there to service me and can put food on the table for their families. If you are still having problems you can contact- www.shedhorn sports.com. This is my local shop here in Montana. You would have to pay extra though for shipping,etc. so I would stay local if I could. My encore has been an especially sweet shooter right out of the box. With factory loaded Federal 140 grain Partitions it will group under an inch all day long. I will probably buy an identical rig for my oldest son fairly soon. Good Luck!
