tall order

encore...28" barrel, 300 win mag, 180 accubonds...
fluted pro hunter barrel, compact sized scope...oooohhh....aaahhhh...
mines got a brake on it and it kicks like a 270 or less...a 64 pound 11 year old didn't mind shooting mine.
i think coachcw had a 7 mag barrel for sale somewhere too if i remember correctly.

Hey if you want to shoot a .338win mag I have one and could bring it out if we go coyote hunting together

 :)I did not know you had a 270 already, in that case, 300WM(the real one)

the venerable 243 WSSM! The bullets are fat little screamers, my wife calls them cute, lol.

I thought the VENERABLE part would have clued you
You guys do not do sarcasm well, lol

30-06 ai any opinions

Post #24. I already mentioned that one, -if you're not lookin for magnum ballistics, want to be able to buy factory ammo that's quite a bit cheaper than any WSM on the store shelf, and that once fireformed/reloaded, has high potential to give better than factory 30-06 velocities.

Had I known you had an Encore, I'd have suggested a different barrel for it as Jackalope did. 300wm just wouldn't have been my suggested cartridge.

A.I. barrels are available for encores...you might need to look at bullberry or  bellm or something along those lines, but you can find them.

Go with a Thompson Pro Hunter, It comes stock with a 28inch fluted bull barrel the entire rifle is stainless and the stock is made by Limbsaver. I got one in 300 Win Mag I put a Trijicon Accupoint 2.5-10x56mm scope on top it pushes 180gr speer hot-cor bullet over 3000 fps that should be plenty for Elk up to and past 400 yards. The rifle will run you about $700 they are extremely accurate!

[jackelope]

he already has an encore.

he already has an encore.

yep I am thinking about a pro hunter barrel in 7mm remington magnum.
