Got a deal on Gun Broker

[bronko220002]

I was looking for a butt stock for my T/C Encore frame and found a T/C Flex Tech stock and was able to snatch it up for only $85. I was the only bidder. And to make things even sweeter it matches the forend of the 209x45 barrel I'm putting on the frame.
I was also able to pick up another Encore online with a .243 barrel which I'm going to sell and put my 7-08 Rem barrel on it.
I will then have 3 complete Encores: a 7-08, 209x45 and 209x50.

Bronco - you definitely have the ML disease, which there is no vaccination for!!!

 

[bronko220002]

You're right Mike. In fact I just sold two CFs. I would have sold another but its a LH bolt. If I do sell it that will leave me with one blot action and a handful of lever rifles which I'm also fond of.

Congratulations on your good luck!

The only thing better than a 7MM-08 is a 280Rem.

I started out with my dad's Contender and bought my first Encore in 1994. My kids started growing up and teaching them to shoot was easy with an Encore. By the time my Youngest was ready to hunt, I had three Encores and a half dozen barrels. Currently have 5 barrels and three frames now. Love em.

I like the Encores too but if I would have known about the CVA Scout I would likely have a bunch of them in stead. As it is I have a .45 and .50 Encore muzzleloaders and a 7-08 encore rifle with an extra .243 barrel

The only known cure is empty pockets. LOL

Good for you bronko

I love the 7MM-08! The only thing better is a 280 Remington.

My favorite is the 243. So many groundhogs and deer. Always liked the ides of a 7mm-08 though.

have you tried the spring switch out for you action?
I have done it on 2 frames make a real difference
Forgive me but I forget the manufacturer of the spring kit

I’ve put springs into Encore receivers myself, and it helps but is nothing like a Bellm trigger job. He’s done at least 3 for me over the years, and I may send him another one soon.

In my opinion I think the Encore is inherently a better rifle. Don't get me wrong the CVA Scout is a very good rifle also but the Encore in my opinion is slightly better mainly because of the better hinge pin design. You will pay a lot more for an Encore build so if money is an issue the Scout is absolutely the way to go and with comparable accuracy. You really can't go wrong with either.

I have an Encore with a .45 ASG smokeless barrel. I also have a CVA Scout .450 Bushmaster in bronze cerakote. Both are very accurate and a lot of fun to shoot. I have my eyes on a bronze CVA Scout 45/70 for a Hankins smokeless conversion hopefully next spring.

If your looking to part with any of your lever guns....

Good for you bronko

maybe you could coach/help him empty his pockets

 

[bronko220002]

No need. I have a PhD in pocket emptying!

 

[bronko220002]

In the past week I just bought 2 CVA Scout V2 rifles in .45-70. The first on is staying as is but the second one, as soon as I get it, I'm shipping the barrel out to Hankins to have it converted to a SML.
