RE: Encore barrels
THe B.Berryare supposed to be a ton more accurate then the TC barrels but they are a ton more $. In hunting situations the TC barrels I have are plenty accurate enough. I can get 1" groups at 100yrds using my reloads but I had to work the loads a little more then with most guns I have.
If you are wanting a caliber different then what TC makes. www.foxridgeoutfitters.com makes custom barrels with a ton more selection of calibers and lengths and cost about the same price as the TC barrels. I had a 18" 25-06 purchased from them that shot 1" groups at 100yrds.
IF you search\read posts here on the barrels youll notice some are pretty happy with the performance of the factory barrels and some had real bad luck withthem.

RE: Encore barrels
chopper69,
its my belief that getting a factory barrel that shoots well is a roll of the dice..so your $250.00-300.00 into the hopes of getting a good one.
well i say no thx!i spend my money at "MGM"(http://www.matchgrademachine.com/. 4 weeks wait as well on a custom barrel an they shoot just as you would expect..
perfect!!..sospend the extra $50.00-$100.00 an get true quality.

RE: Encore barrels
I had a barrel made a few years backby Virgin Valley,a .240 Weatherby. That's the last one I'll have made for me! The cost wasn't worth it,I'm still trying to find a accurate reload for it...
