This has been a few years in the making waiting on deals and funds.
I've already had a perfectly serviceable 44 Rossi M92 for drives and brush hunting that's given great performance and accounted for plenty of venison.
For this, I wanted something a little different. I stand hunt in the morning and evening, while the suns up we're pushing brush and doing drives. I wanted something a little better suited to the Dawn/Dusk longer range, rested shots that goes with how I stand hunt.
I've put together a Thompson Center Encore in 357Max. 17&1/2" threaded barrel, factory synthetic stock and a Vortex 1-6x Illuminated Strike Eagle for glass.
It handles great, and the cartridge is just about the flattest shooting ohio legal cartridge and will deliver plenty of thump at the ranges available and then some.
I've got 100 pieces of Starline brass, some 180gr XTP'S, and a bottle of IMR4227. Just gotta load em up and sight in.
