Anybody see the show last year where Larry missed a big Iowa whitetail using a 460 Encore (scoped) I was surprised they showed it on TV. Several years ago him & Sheriff Jim Wilson did a write up in Shooting Times with Larry promoting the single shots for hunting & Jim Wilson preferring the sixguns, good article. Both have been good for our sport for a long time.

Was the writing online or in a magazine. I would be interested to read it.

I read Weishuhn's comment thus -- the round is not fun to shoot for some folks.

It was his way of 'poo pooing' their decision to buy the gun, not his way of poo pooing the cartridge.

The Zeiss pistol scope was derailed by the powers that be at Zeiss because of other committments. My understanding is the Zeiss pistol scope will be a reality in 2013, if not before.

I didn't think that you did, was just reinforcing your point. I was kind of taken aback when Jim Shockey swapped his trusty front stuffer, but it is just a sign of the times....

I figure you mean his Knight (ML Rifle) for the T/C? (also ML Rifle)

Not going to happen, unfortunately. I have been round and round with them on the .480 single action, and they have no plans to do it. Too bad, really.

That's what guys like Jack and I are around for

Of course you all know that T/C introduced an Encore Model called the "Larry Weishuhn Limited Edition Series."

I tried to get one in the .308 for the 2010 HHI Antelope Hunt from my contact there at T/C but was unable to. Looks like a beautiful gun, although I have not held one yet.
