I am considering buying a TC Encore in the coming months,but I wanted to get a little feedback about them. What is their accuracy like, and are there any quirks that I should know about ahead of time? I am a Rem 700 fan but thought that this would be a good excuse to get a rifle capable of different calibers from 243 to .50 cal BP.
Thanks guys.
Having said that, shot placement is key and there is only one level of dead. Us east Texans can't afford turquoise and elk ivories for jewelry. So we use hog tushes and coon peckers.

Have one with 22-250 and 50ML barrel. Accuracy with the 22-250 is around MOA with about anything I have tried some 1.25 while others rounds 3/4. Best group I have shot from it is just over 1/2 inch at 100 yards.
With the ML barrel and open sights it is good enough for hogs and deer to 100 yards with me shooting but not really a good test for accuracy though. I am sure it would improve a lot if I scoped it.

I had one and tried to like it. it is easy to handle and light weight. was accurate for the most part. i sold it as my oldest coulnt get used to the trigger vs a bolt gun. have to be a little steadier with a hammer drop. its a handy little rifle though. i liked the standard 24in barrels to keep it short. had a bergara? barrel in 243 that was accurate.

Accurate no doubt but the right trigger job would help. The 8.5lb pull on mine is bad as is the amount of take up.

I have one in 25-06. This year alone three bucks and 2 big hogs. No telling how many does next weekend. Its the gun I loan out the most.
Accuracy is good. Not as good as a few of my remmy's but Its pretty regularly moa though.
I highly advise getting a custom made barrel like eabco or mgm.
I love it do to overall length and safety factor
One of the best things you can do is add a small washer in the forearm attachment screws which basically floats the forearm.

I have 2. Both in 7mm-08. Trigger jobs are a must. Both shoot MOA if I'm doing my job. My wife shoots a rifle with 24" barrel and a Zeiss Conquest scope, and she likes it as well or maybe better than her Rem.700. Mine is a 15" barrel pistol in 7mm-08 and it shoots better than I can shoot it.
