T/C Encore pro hunter

[my82cam]

does anyone have a T/C pro hunter or encore? i have been thinking about getting one but thought i would see if someone has had good experiences with them or bad ones. i thought it would work out nice to be able to go from BP to a centerfire.

I have two encores and absolutely love them. Mine is set up with a 209x45 bp barrel. The other has a youth butt stock and .243 barrel. The 243 is what my daughter used to take her first deer. THe reason I have 2 encore frames is I like leaving the one set up as a youth rifle. This past season my cousins son used it to take his first deer.

I have always been a big TC fan. They are well made, accurate firearms.

i'm trying to figure out if the prohunter is worth $300 more than the regular encore. it will be nice to be able to buy a barrel and make it a 375H&H or 30-06 or whatever i want to make it.

I don't if the Pro Hunter is worth that much extra. I know they have a new stock that is supposed to reduce recoil. I put a Limbsaver on my regular butt stock and it works great. Having the ability to switch barrels is a definite plus. I have had the following barrels: .243, 30-30, 45lc/410, 454 casuall, 12ga(don't recommend), 209x45. There is a good market for used encore barrels.

It is NOT worth the extra money...if you get the bug you will replace the stock anyway.
