It would be great if I could get something that fit on my Encore. I have also thought of a bolt action pistol.

J D Jones developed a bolt action that was a .378 Weatherby case cut down to about 2 inches and necked to .50 Caliber. I knew the gunsmith that was testing it and he let me shoot it. Shot it 6 times and my hand was turning numb.

I have thought of a bolt action but not quite that wild.

I like long range shooting but my handgun skills leave a bit to be desired. I am thinking at least 500 yards.
