VTbowman Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 Well here is the beast I have been putting together... Its a blued Encore 300 Win Mag with SSK muzzle break (16.5" long), Blue/Black Ga Jim grip and target forend on a hanger bar, Bushnell Elite 3200 2-6x32 optics held by 3 Leupold verticle split rings... Planning on starting out with the Federal Vital Shok 165g ballistic tips and see if the gun likes them.. (They came free with the barrel along with a 50 count of brass and a die set for reloading..) This should make some noise in the deer woods this fall. (I hope) Here is a shot of the muzzle break. You can see the forend is totally free floated in this pic. Heres a side view.

VTbowman Posted May 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 Re: Encore .300 Win Mag Handgun!!!! Yea I expect a bit of recoil out of her.. Something about taking the shoulder out of the equation on rifle calibers makes them kick like mules.. Good thing it has a muzzle break..

AJ Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 Re: Encore .300 Win Mag Handgun!!!! With a brake installed it will not be that bad. Now, the nuzzle flash is another story. Maybe it has to do with trying to burn 70+ grains of powder in a 15" barrel? It should be impressive to shoot at night! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 16.5" bbl would be more suited for this round but ordering a custom and waiting 8 month to a year was not my idea of fun... It should still shoot well for what I plan to use it for. I bet the 100g of powder in my 209x50 ML 15"er is pretty impressive too at night... I may have to take them out this 4th of July..
