Anyone else hunt with or shoot TC Encores?

I've got the 2 frames with .22-250, 7mm Rem Mag, .280 Rem and 300 Win Mag barrels. They've both got the Bellm TC's hinge pins, hammer springs and trigger springs along with their hammer extenders. Great shooters as long as you don't mind 1 shot.

Aren't you supposed to say, "Great shooters since I don't need more than 1 shot"?

No, I don't have one and I don't know a darned thing about them, but that's a sexy pair of rifles right there.

What makes them so good? Why do you prefer a T/C over a gun with a higher capacity? Is it accuracy? Or weight?

Help the ignorant (me), please!

I think some people like them and some don't. I like single shots...always have. Not sure what it is about them, maybe a little more challenge. The Encores are cool because I can have a different caliber barrel popped on there in less then 10 minutes and be ready to roll. I can take 2 screws out, 1 hinge pin and go from 22-250 to 300wm in that time...Probably won't do me much good when the zombies come, but I'll do my best and I can do it from far away.

They're not particularly light, about 7.5 pounds all up with the scope, but that's a 26" bull barrel'd 300 barrel. The little barrels make them a bit lighter obviously.

Great info. Thanks!

Yeah, I can see how the quick caliber change would come in handy.

Yes...same trigger that you're already very used too, same stock, same everything. Just a different barrel and scope...and it's already sighted in. No changes swapping out barrels.

i am also a tc encore fan,
i have 2 frames, and 5 barrels. 22-250, 22lr, 300 win mag, 45-70, and 20ga. they are all nice shooters, 22-250,22lr, & 300 win mag are all heavy barrels.

Always been a fan of the TC's. Nice shooters!
