Do any of you guys have the T/C Encore ? You can buy barrels cheaper than going out and buying a whole new setup if you're not quite happy with your $1000 guns. That's what I've done. I've got a 22-250, 26 inch bullbarrel that is a tack drivin', killin' machine. I don't save pelts so it works well for me.

I just got to hold one of those the other day and I think it will be my next gun! The only thing I saw that might get bad is the amount of scopes a guy needs to make the easy transformation.

You can buy Begara barrels cheaper than original T/C barrels. I've been buying Pentax scopes on sale so the barrel and scope is roughly $425. I only buy stainless barrels too. The frame I bought was $450 with FFL transfer and shipping etc. Look up, www.eabco.com

I've been running the 55gr NBT out of my 6x45 and 6mm-204 and have had no problems other than not very fur friendly.  Shot a couple with 62gr VG, had grapefuit sized exits on chest shots and still had one run 30 ft.  Going to experiment with 58gr V-Max and 55gr NBT Lead Free this season see if I can keep them in a coyote.

Been shooting 52gr Speer FB/HP and 40gr NBT's out of my 5.6x50R and 22-204 and both have been great fur bullets.
