I hunt this river swamp here in the Florida panhandle and I love my Encore pistol. Rarely do I have a shot over 50 yards. When you shoot something it doesn't run off.

I am considering another barrel for hunting food plots for doe during antlerless deer season. Shots could be up to 200 yards. Want accuracy and little recoil. What do ya'll think about a 243, 7-08 or 308?

I could post some pictures but don't know how.

I've got a 308 barrel for mine and it's not bad on recoil and 200 yards shots are no strain. The other two calibers will work as well.


It takes 43 muscles to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger squeeze.

Any of the listed cartridges should work just fine.

My preference towards the .243 & .308 Win.

I'm kinda partial to 7's, but any of those would work.


Rod, too.

Short cuts often lead to long recoveries.

I'm partial to the 7mm-08 but all will suffice.
