I also shoot a T/C Encore. I have a 26" in 25-06 and a .50 ML. I havnt shot the .50 yet but I hear they shoot great. The 25-06 shoots like a dream. I shot a jackrabbit with it last night at about 250 yards. Recoil is light in my opinion. My frame is stainless/camo stock. In the near future I plan on getting a custom barrel in 22-250, 204 and maybe .243. The feel of the Encore feels better then most bolt guns. I like the longer LOP and the way the stock is designed. Here is a pic of the 25-06 with Nikon 3-9x40.
Here the target I used to sight it in. 1, 2, and 3 were shot to get her sighted in and 4, 5, 6, and 7 where shot as fast as I could reload. Shot at 75 yards.
