I bought the Encore 209x50 stainless from Russells Sports Dec. '05, In '06 the PH came out
. If I would've known I would've waited. But at any rate, I really enjoy shooting mine. Along the way picked up some extra bbls., to include; .300 Win mag, .308 and .204. and just recently a PH .270bbl.
I've had no issues with re-zeroing each bbl except for maybe the .204. What I did do was buy from Bellm an oversized takedown pin, hammer & trigger springs and a lock spring. I also bought new PH syn stocks off ebay.
My only issues thus far have been with the 300WM bbl. and its recoil, I soon after devloped a flinch. Also, using good rings & mounts is another added benefit not too mention optics. I had a Bushnell Trophy on the .50 bbl. and after a yr it lost its zero. They did however send me a new scope which I sold and went with a Nikon Omega.
