Did some gun swappin’.....

......and ended up with a Thompson-Center Encore rifle in .300 Win. Mag with a Bushnell 4200 Elite 6-24x50 scope. I haven’t had a .300 Win. Mag. In quite a few years, and I’m a bit concerned about the recoil. The barrel is really stout, 26” long, and the rifle seems to have a decent weight, but I’m unsure about the way the stock is shaped. Some rifles just aren’t designed for heavy recoil.

I also got a 28” long, fluted barrel, in .270 Winchester. I’m hoping that extra length will see some interesting returns velocity wise. I know that it will be more comfortable to shoot!

I think I have a 26” .30-06 barrel coming, we will see if it was really in stock or not. I’m looking at a .308 barrel too. This is about as addictive as all the Contenders I owned in the past. I can see another one or two barrels down the road, whew.

First range time scheduled for two weeks from now. I can hardly wait!
