.308 Encore pistol

[rodsvet]

I have an Encore blue pistol in .308 that I will list later this month. It is as new with 15 rounds thru the pipe. Way too much pistol for my old hands. I bought it 15 years ago on a whim. It has a Thompson Center 2-7 Scope, the iron sights and a shooting systems case. It is like new! What would you guys think a fair price would be to ask?? Thanks, Rod

There's a used SS 308 with box on GB. He's asking $780. Looks like blued 308 barrels are going around $250.

Joe, For a complete (and new) pistol with optics and a case, I'm sure you mistyped the $280. My local GS offered me $500 and I know he will make a profit on it. I just needed an idea of what to list it for on the forum and be fair. Thanks for your reply, Rod

[Jersey Joe]

Sorry...I meant just the barrels are about $250-$300.

[rodsvet]

No apology needed Joe. I knew thats what you meant once I thought about it. Enjoy the day! Rod

Probably about 200 for barrel plus 1/2 the value of scope when new, SO about 250-275 maybe ask 300. If you want to sell it. You can ask 400 if you want to keep it...

Asking an Sell'n are 2 different things

There is a nice Encore with scope on Gunbroker that has a starting price of $575 and a buy now of $595 # 543407575

[bearcove]

Are you selling frame too?

[rodsvet]

Yes bearcove, the whole pistol. Scope, rings, mount, pistol, and soft padded shooting systems case. I really hadn't meant to sell till last week in Feb. but a local guy offered me $550, and the local GS$500. I just thought I needed to get some input. Thanks, Rod

[LUCKYDAWG13]

just a thought but keep the frame and scope and trade or sell your 308 barrel and look for a more manageable barrel or have one made or you could turn it into a rifle

[rodsvet]

Thanks for the input guys. I just sold it to a real nice guy in the bay area. I'm glad someone will take it out and exercise it. Rod

Rod pm me on 3/16 and we'll hammer out a deal,I have 4 encores and 3 contenders plus a couple dozen barrels would you be interested in a barrel trade to something smaller with lighter recoil?your dealer was about right with his offer,hard to believe the Encore is that old now:holysheep

Way too much pistol for my old hands.

I would think that the solution was to just develop you some less powerful loads for the .308 cartridge. Something subsonic, perhaps?

[rodsvet]

Well, the guy who bought it says he is going to go 44 mag with it and just maybe play with the .308. Thanks guys for the replies, Rod
