I have an encore pro hunter that I may be selling. I bought an ultimate arms muzzleloader last year so I was thinking of selling my old one. The pro hunter is convertible to a center fire so they are more expensive. I think you can get an encore fx for $499 new. That's a heck of a good gun. A comparable cva or traditions would be $300-400 but in my opinion (from the problems I've seen with them) money well spent to go TC. Another thing to keep in mind is most of the cva and traditions are made in Brazil and even though they look stainless they are actually nickel plated steel which I don't like personally. I would look into blackhorn 209 as well. I've had really good luck with precision muzzleloading bullets as well. As a rule stay away from soft ez load sabots as they tend to be inconsistent. If you go to the precision bullets site they talk about this and it makes a lot of sense.

Tc encore fx. They're a little more expensive but worth it. I've been around 2 different cva's and one traditions and all had issues with the hammers not falling properly and had to be sent back. They are so simple, literally and barrel hammer and trigger so I guess there's no excuse for them not working in my opinion. I know a lot of guys that love cva and traditions. I think accuracy wise it doesn't matter much since it's just a barrel but I would spend the extra $100 and get an encore fx. You won't regret it.

That was a good deal for 2010. Not so much anymore.

That is a REALLY good mount!! Gorgoues!

Has that been refinished? It's gorgoues!

No it doesn't. It seems that pellets would be easier but in the field you're gonna want to carry speed loaders with you either way so you never will touch the powder be it loose or in pellets. I've heard people say that pellets can be more consistent because they are pre pressed and don't have variations with seating pressure but I guess I haven't found that to be true.

I like the sound of it. Especially when using leupild style bases with windage. Not sure there's mich you can do if your windage is off on a rail type base is there?

Good lord. Is the scope included? That thing is too pretty to shoot!

Hard to tell from the pic but it looks like a 5pt to me. Good fronts but bad tops. Maybe 290-300?

I've shot more then a few critters next to a national park/monument boundary as well as near golf courses etc. if it's a legal area to hunt I guess I don't see the problem. This has totally gotten spun out of context by the media making us all look bad. The fact that some of you are biting is what really scares me.

I just googled up on this guy a little. Looks like he's definitely his own biggest fan. With a few exceptions that's what it seems like you have to be to make a name for yourself in the hunting business it seems.

If you haven't shot the gun yet I would suggest blackhorn 209. It's oil based so it cleans with any solvent. My only beef with 777 is its water based meaning if there's humidity in the air it will take it in so any powder residue in your barrel will imbibe water and hold it which will cause rust. It also can vary in water content in the container or your speed loader by as much as 20%. If you've got s load for your gun with 777 then stick with it. Just wanted to give you a heads up if you were starting from scratch.

Wow. I woulda been all over this if I still lived down there. That's a bargain.

You always have such cool stuff!!

I think it's pretty clear what the BA after these Binos stands for!

Sweet. I have a pair of these in 7's. I like them. This is a sweet set of Binos for the price!

Hey Bob, Ive run into a few moose here in the Yellowstone bottoms, it's always neat to see them standing in a field here, they stick out like a turd in a punch bowl! Business is good, staying plenty busy despite all of the slowdown, blows my mind that $50 oil hasn't hurt things worse. I remember all the speculation that when it hit $80 it was gonna bust, then $70 and so on. This thing is here to stay that's for sure. I bet you're jacked for your elk hunt, the stars have definitely aligned for it!!! Wish I had a little free time I'd come down and glass for ya. I'm elk hunting in Utah 3rd week of sept then moose first week of October. Also decided to forgoe my Labor Day weekend tradition of trying to arrow a nd whitetail in exchange for a trip to Idaho to scout/hunt for moose. The season opens aug 30th so I can hunt right away. They won't be rutting and the leaves will be thick and it'll be hot but I at least want to get a feel for the place since its a once in a lifetime tag!

Life is to short. If the season is open (which it is for coyotes) then go hunting.

I'll take the set up. Sent you an email.

I shot a buck off of there a few years back. It's a fun hunt. Good place to kill your first coues. December tags on post are much easier to come by then off. Most coues hunters would give there left nut for a December coues tag but on post they have leftovers. That being said they pretty much manage for opportunity on post. Hence the large number of December tags. I shot an 80" 3pt and it was the largest buck taken out of 30 some bucks checked in that year with the exception of a 107" buck shot the day before. There are big bucks on there don't get me wrong, but it's a bit of a headache to hunt on there and the age structure is poor due to the tag numbers. Fun hunt though. Pm me for more info if you want. Thanks for your service!

I'd buy the commissioner tag if they'd let me do that!!!

Do you know if it is modular with ar10 accessories? Looks like the mags are similar? Definitely an awesome entry level long range tactical rifle. I'm bettin it would kill a coues just fine too!!

If they open a burro season I'm gonna be getting something way bigger then s .375 for them!!!! I'm thinkin 50 bmg would be just about perfect!!

I was just hoping they had the wrong number for me and couldn't get ahold of me last night....
