The Flex-Tech stock and Simms recoil pad help absorb recoil from the .460 S&W Magnum, making follow-up shots more comfortable. This rifle is also part of the Encore Pro-Hunter system which means you can swap out barrels to change calibers for different hunts or shooting activities – a useful feature given Utah’s varied hunting seasons.
Beyond hunting, this rifle could also serve a purpose for those seeking a powerful option for home defense in rural areas of Utah, or an addition to a collection for the avid range shooter. The .460 S&W Magnum is a significant cartridge.
