I say buy the pro hunter with a 28" barell

A rule of thumb that I use on the Contenders/G2 calibers is that if you can safely run it through a lever gun, you can use in it the Conteder/G2. The Encore ProHunter opens up your options to almost anything that's safe for a bolt gun. Except some of the fat cased, high pressure rounds like the Ultra or Weatherby mags.

Don't worry about the 28" barrel. The rifle will be about the same length as a 24" barreled bolt gun. Hope this helps.

I've played the Encore- Contender game before, it's a lot of fun buying different barrels. Personaly I would buy your frame, and then buy a used barrel of your choice.

Post by: jackelope on January 03, 2010, 08:37:52 PM: i have the encore with a 28" barrel and it's a couple inches shorter overall than my browning a-bolt with a 24" barrel. i don't know if you can get a t/c barreled for a short mag either.
