Mel caught my last sighting shot with the Encore (the first report you hear), including the view downrange, at Boomershoot 2011.
The treeline on the centerleft is 375 yards. The base of the hill to the center right is 525 yards, and the crest of the hill is 700 yards.
Note: the targets are too small to see at this range, with this camera; but they are all about 1moa for the range (4" for 400 yard, 8" for 700 yard etc...)
Mel also caught me setting up for the next shot, a 525 yard shot on the lowest line of boomers out on the hill.
.300 winmag, and yes, it's a full custom job (though frankly, there's not THAT much you have to do to an encore other than get a good barrel). I'm a gunsmith, and build precision rifles.
