Just did get to hunt with my new TC encore 410/45. Lots of fun. Definitely will not tote a shotgun around again. Lots of fun, more challenging, and you don't wipe out your rabbit population (atleast when you shoot like I do). I'm 0 for 2 so far, but we dont shoot at sitting rabbits.

The Encore is a heavier frame and can shoot larger more powerful calibers.

Other differences are that Contender barrels can be used on the Encore but not the other way around. Also on the Encore if you decide not to shoot you can let the hammer down ,on the Contender if you let the hammer down you have to break the action back open to re cock the gun. At least thats how my buddies is.

you cant get a 270 in a contender now the biggest I believe is a 7-30 watters and 30-30 but in the encore you can get large rifle as in the 30-06

Once you get the hotter calibers you need different grips for sure, I use a half rubber grip with .35 Remington loads, I thought I was tough enough to use my all wood target grips but I was wrong :oops:
