If you had a Encore action you can get a 24 inch blued barrel 22 Hornet for $207.00. T/C is giving a $50 rebate now...The 22 Hornet on the Encore action is an awesome fox gun thats for sure....
Encore action with forearm cost about $320.00 for black synthetic.....
Ah but if you have an Encore action all ready why get a NEF?
