Second reason is because they can be VERY accurate.
Best of luck to you.
I've had one with a .50 cal and a 7mm-08 barrel for several years and have just now found what I think is the secret - for me - to getting decent accuracy. I sent the gun off to get the headspace checked/adjusted and get the forend bedded. Between that and handloads with the right ammo, I think I'm on the right track.
Don't get me wrong, I think the Encore is one of the coolest, if not the coolest, guns going. I've just been really frustrated with mine many times - almost to the point of making a boat anchor - and would encourage you to keep at it until you're satisfied.
Again, good luck!
