well it showed up yesterday

im the proud owner of a encore 22 ss 15 inch boy its nice but a lil heavy but i knew it would be i have a 223 and its just as heavy but very nice hope it shoots great i cant wait to get out shooting it maybe this weekend if the weather permits

man im cheesing hard i would have rather had a lil revolver but funds just not there to spend 300 or more on a nice one so this will work even trade for a barrel that i had for almost a year that i never shot but i know ill shoot this one lots of 22s in the closet the range i go to has a 22 [ silhouette ]spell check but anywho im a happy going to be trapper right now for sure

Its hard not to like a .22, they are fun and cheap to shoot, and you'll never be able to wear it out.

Weight may not be great for carrying, but it is usually good for steady shooting. Let us know how it shoots for you.

that sounds like a really nice gun!i cant carry a rifle when trapping.for years i carried a single shot pistol,load, shoot, shove it back in the holster, reset trap and load varmint in the pack.when i carry a rifle i keep leaveing it laying on the gravel bar and walking off and forgetting it lol.

B44Mag,

No matter what, that TC Encore is one of the best setups out there. I have one myself with a good number of barrels for the rifle & pistol setup. You'll be enjoying that one for years to come!

I couldnt help laughing here! Not at you or your subject but I was just thinking. Hunting, trapping, & fishing use to be poor man's sports. Where did those old days go off to? LMAO! Nothing in life is cheap any more!!!

yep used to be but the price of playing in the outdoors has gone way up but we have to pay to play and im a big kid at heart and never going to stop playing so i have learned to buy barter sell trade and enjoy that as much as playing in the outdoors it just seem if i sell i dont buy what i was selling for so i like to trade more than buy or sell
and bartering is like bsing and im good at that too

the 22 is a sweet not so lil gun just as all the encore pistol barrels are very nice set up to shoot shoot one till your bored with it and trade it for a new to me barrel i like it
