    Last week I had looked at some insulated bibs at Cabelas. At 180 bucks for just the bibs... Ouch !!! At that price... it could bring out the Scrooge out in anybody. Didn't even bother looking at the jacket. Wife said to keep dreaming. :sad:

    Vito you seem like a great guy... but I wouldn't get my hopes up... just sayin'. :D

    So ... I have an 11-87 SP scoped deer gun that I was toying with trading in IF I bought the ML ... maybe if I went the CVA route I could get both ....

    Are you interested in a '95-'96 model, PT?

    If not....I don't see the point of the link.

    I'm in a similar situation, but with Cabela's,

    I thought about a Muzzleloader, but I think I'm going to end up going with a Bushnell Trophy Cam, and some more Lone Wolf sticks.

    I'd take a Ruger over a Taurus all day long. But.... I'd also get a ML over any pistol :D

    T is for Tony, Dan :busted: :D

    I like that T/C is made in America .... CVA is made in Spain .... that has a little weight ... I really am leaning towards the Ruger ...

    Like I said, PT....I'm gonna buy a ML this week. I shouldered the encore in Gander Mtn., last week. It's a really nice rifle.

    But......I have a rifle and a shotgun. I want a ML. I can get one heckuva nice ML (CVA) for 1/2 the Encore's ticket price. And, the encore's the only line of the TC's (I know of) that I like the stock configuration.

    Do you need the interchanging barrels?

    Well... I don't "need" a new gun at all .... I would like interchangeable barrels ... but if I could get same quality for 1/2 the price ... Prolly not .... I do love the Encore, tho ....
