Second vote for a short Encore. Mine wears a straight tube Leupold 1-4.
A bit too round in the middle for easy carrying, but then, so am I.

This is my choice for deer out here in NS. 7x57 Mauser, 38.75" oal and 6lb 12.5oz. Makes for a very handy little package. Toying with the idea of swapping out the 2.5x Leupold for a 1.5-5x but time will tell if I do or don't.

I'm in the minority here and don't take head shots.
I was just funnin on the easterners, that rifle is a real beauty, great set up! Love the fixe 2.5 on it also, if trijicon or leupold could add a lighted dot to some of these lighter 1" true hunters optics it's the only thing a guy would ask for over that, especially if 'no batteries' required

That is the nicest set up I have seen in a long time, beautiful rifle with sensible scope choice, I would not change a thing!!

Very nice! That leupold is a really good one for closer range shots, think is finding one for my 300 win mag.

I saw one at a recent gun show and nearly bought it. Self control got the better of me.

That’s a real beauty. Do you have any more pictures and maybe some details?

Troy PAR Pump-Action Carbine in .300 Blackout with a 9" Barrel (Fixed Buttstock). Fast sighting with a 1x Micro-Prism etched-reticle scope, minimal recoil, very fast, with 10-rounds on board and super quick reloads. It really doesn't get any better for my brush hunting/bear-defence needs....
