I have a T/C encore rifle.

The barrels I have are the blued 375 H&H, a SS 22-250 (both are 26" heavy barrels) and I just picked up a 15" 25-06 pistol barrel.

The 375 is very accurate - under an inch at 100 yds.

I've shot .5 inch groups @ 100 yds with the 22-250.

Just bought the pistol barrel last week - no shots with it yet.

One suggestion - If you ever plan to have a pistol barrel on the encore, buy an action registered as a pistol.

It is legal to have rifle barrel on a pistol action, but it is not legal to convert a registered rifle action with a pistol barrel. Weird Huh?

I bought a pistol action complete with the pistolgrip And forend with no barrel. Then I bought the 375 H&H rifle barrel and a rifle stock & forend from boyd's gunstocks to finish myself.

I didn't get the pistol barrel until 18 months later.

Encores are addicting - enjoy
