HUnlee sure like 223,,,7-30 water and 375 Windchester contender butt Contender fraime canot hold up to 308,,,,30-06 or 270 like Encore can!!!!!!!THis is why Hunlee has been thinking of the Encore!!!!!!!!High pressure calliber on a Encore fraime with 3-12x power Burris!!!!!!Long rang shooting for Hunlee!!!!Please tell Hunlee about your opinion an thankyou!!!!!HUnlee like blue or silvery fraime an barrel but the new 3-12x power Burris that came to Hunlee is blue!!!!

hunlee

My advise is get one...I keep mine with me 24/7

A 15" 308 encore was my summer project 2 years ago. It had a 3-12 burris on top with grand slam 3 ring mounts, 2.25lb trigger and the stickky ruber grips. It was an amazing shooting rig. I could shoot 1/2" groups with several different powders and bullets. It would shoot just about any load combination I tried. At the range it was about as good as it could get for me. Since then I tried a 30-06 barrel and a 7mm-08 but wasent nearly as impressed with them. For my 2 cents worth the 308 is a safe bet.

I was so happy with my 'Tender that I had to get an Encore.
I shoot a 6.5x284 and a 45-70 and I like both of them.
I'm saving for a heavy barrel 308 for my next project.
I thought about a 7-08, but I always shoot the 7-30 in the 'Tender and I already load for the 7mm Mauser in a long gun. I kinda like to do things different, so I think my 7mm Encore barrel will be the Mauser......but everybody NEEDS a 308!!

308 wood be about the best calliber for Encore and for Hunlee???

hunlee

My opinion is that you are building an arsenal, Hunlee. You are going to have a handgun for each of your 12 children. I am going to get out of sales and start bartending so I can have many guns like Hunlee, many children like Hunlee, and feed the Mrs. many high-caloric meals so I have 275 lb. wife like Hunlee!

kingfisher make Hunlee laugh very much!!!!!!Hunlee like to laugh!!!!!Hingfisher need to think about Encore tho as hunlee want a better long ranger than 7-30 water!!!!!Hunlee have plan of keeping 7-30 water long ranger but Hunlee is wanting Encore for shooting out beyond limit of 7-30 water!!!!!!!Maybe 243,,,260,,,7-08,,,308????????Hunlee is wondering what is best for blasting to long range on deer an smaller including varmut!!!!!

hunlee

There are certainly flatter shooting options than the .308...but it will sure work.

You're killing me man!! LMAO!!

Yes!!!Yes!!! the wife(285lb) of Hunlee eat alot of food as do the many children of Hunlee!!!!!Good thing the wife have good income!!!!!Many $$$$$USA$$$$$ cash dollar come to the wife(285lb)!!!!!

hunlee

How about good calliber for long ranger for Hunlee??????Any of said calliber above be good for Hunlee????Maybe 270 or 30-06 or 280 be good long ranger for Hunlee?????300 Windchester maginum be good for Hunlee?????

Hunlee is wanting Warp Speed bullit an bullit must strike like thunder!!!!!!

hunlee

Hunlee need one like mine,Plenty fast, hit hard and brake make for low recoil.
It is a SSK 300 Win Mag,Kill many Deer,African Game and Exotics

Hunlee, that SSK 300 is YOU! Either make alot on tips at the bar or stop by McDonalds and buy the wife a bag of Big Macs so she will love Hunlee more and more and come off some of those $$$$USA$$$ for Hunlee's NEXT addition to the arsenal.

Don't forget the fries!

300 Windchester Maginum must strike like thunder butt Hunlee is scared of 300 Windchester Maginum on Encore frame pistol!!!!!!Maybee they wood be better calliber for Hunlee that strike like thunder?????

hunlee

My vote if you want a factory round would be 308, 708, 260 in that order.

Hunlee needs a 350 Remignton Magnum barrel. Thunder of the gods!!!!!!

You try to fool hunlee!!!!!!350 maginum is big kicker like 300 Windchester maginum

hunlee

No no no, a 416 rig! That way he can shoot the big deer and pigs with confidence. If hunlee teaches his kids to hunt for themselves, all he would have to do is cook for his wife!

Me have second thoughts about Hunlees predicument and have come up with the barrel Hunlee must have and that be a deep throated 50 Alaskan. Hunlee could then shoot 750 grain bullits a long way and tip over just about anything

Hunlee forgets guns with speed of lighting and thunder of gods need muzzle break or Hunlee will be the one to break in half.

350 Remington Magnum is most versatile cartridge when it comes to handloading. Can use Hornady 180 SSPB with reduced load of H4895 to make gun shoot like 35 Remington. Then Hunlee can increase powder charge and use 225 Sierra BT to make gun shoot like 358 Winchester for medium recoil and full power for loads for big elk and moose if he want to feed large wife and kids. 225 Nosler Partition make good elk and moose bullet for Hunlee.

350 Remington Magnum is first real short Magnum. Very easy to reload for. 350 Magnum just like 308 Winchester but only on steroids. Likes many different medium burning powders like IMR 4320, Ramshot TAC, H4895 and so on.

Hunlee needs to be strong and tough.

12 children AND 285 lb. Mrs. and you are questioning Hunlee's strength?...AND TOUGHNESS!?!?

Yes!!!!Yes!!!!Hunlee has fathered many children an is allso very proud,,,Hunlee stand very tall an is very brave!!!!!!350 Remingtin Mageinum wood be very good for Hunlee but 350 Remingtin is not good calliber for long ranger!!!!!350 wood be grate for lage game animal like moose an elk maybe buffallo but how about at long range!!!!300,,,400,,,500 yardage??????Hunlee is thinking maybe lighter bullit traveling well into WARP SPEED wood be better for long ranger and lite bullit still strike like thunder!!!!!!!Hunlee is going to keep open mind and study this!!!!All option will be eevaluated by Hunlee an Hunlee is wanting to thank all for good responce an help!!!!!!Hunlee will keep an open eye for Encore frame an barrel for good deal!!!!!

hunlee

Hunlee needs to roll the dice and take a chance on something different. Otherwise, you might as well get a 50 BMG for what you want to accomplish. Enough said.

Hunlee need to sell guns and put a down payment on Black Hawk helicopter. Very good, multiple weapon choices, some with warp speed and all hit like thunder! Long range,too! 285 lb wife can pilot, Hunlee gunner and 12 younguns artillery specialists.

Think that should clear this issue up...

that is the best idea

LOL LOL

I think you should take a hard look at a .270

Take a good look at the 284Win
Might give you what you want
Then wife can get bigger
and more kids for hunlee
Sky the limit

Hunlee still think on best calliber for long ranger Encore!!!!!Hunlee will think better Chirstmas tho!!!!!

hunlee

Hunlee Needs to look at the good old 308 win. Super efficient, and sky's the limit for reloding. Seen it topple a cow elk where she stood at a lasered 302 yards. It's got both the ZOOM-ZOOM & the BOOM-BOOM. I love mine!

For what you have in mind, I would get a .30-06. Great assortment of bullets for the handloader make this caliber very versatile. A second choice for me would be the .308 - doesn't give up a lot to the venerable 06 and uses powder very efficiently. Again, a wide selection of bullets. I've shot both of these at very long ranges - 600 yards and beyond - and they are inherently accurate.
