You will have 2 Guns that will shoot better than you can shoot them
Bold statement there! I’m curious how you know this?
Not speaking for WPrather, but I can tell you from lots of past experience with Encore platform rifles, for little cost and about an hour or so time, you can change one of the rifles into what will feel like a completely different rifle. If you have the mechanical ability, all the work can be completed easily and directions are available online.
Every Encore platform rifle I've owned and made modifications to, all shot better than before the modifications and as accurate as I could possibly shoot them. I've owned and modified quite a few, plus a number of rifles for others.
Now, should that work be necessary, probably not. But at least the rifles can be modified to each individual's choice and made better than it came from the box. Can't do that with any other break open to my knowledge.
