Title: #5 Long Beards out of TC Encore with IC Choke
Post by: blgoode on February 17, 2015, 06:15:53 PM
Getting back in the groove for turkey season and was getting a feel for my 870 against my Encore set up. The encore won out for accuracy because of the sights. I need a better choke for my 870 but I'm happy with where the Encore is hitting.

At 20 yards

That 20 yard pattern should be pretty nasty. Good looking patterns.

I am spoiled by this TC. Easy sights, light, short, simple to use.
