That's a great looking gun! I have been thinking of ordering a 358 win or a 350 rem mag rifle barrel for my encore. I have always liked the 35 rem. Here in the southern Missouri woods where shots are normally a 125yds and under its hard to beat. A 180-200gr 35cal bullet with flat lay down even the biggest whitetail. The 358win and 350 rem mag both look good but the 350 rem mag brass isn't as easy to find. I bet the Barnes TTSX 180gr bullets would work great.
