New 28" prohunter and 26" encore differences????

Will these two barrels fit on the same forends?  I have the old walnut  heavy forend and was thinking of upgrading to a prohunter barrel.

They must.  I just got a new stainless encore with camo stock yesterday.  It is a regular encore, but had a 22-250 pro hunter barrel on it.  A guy bought the pro hunter rifle, but wanted 25-06 so they swaped barrels with the one I bought.

Don't know what he paid, but I was out the door for 600.00 with mount and rings.  Pretty good I thought.

Hmmmm, I'd give T\C a call on that one, or a local T\C dealer that deals heavy in T\C's. My prohunter barrel is tapered and the forarm is built for that taper. If your going to use a forarm for a bull barrel, your probably going to have to put a shim under the front screw.

And then, I don't know if the screws are the same distances apart on the PH barrels as the Encore barrels. (I know they will fit each other's frames).

Yes it will fit, my buddy has a heavy forarm and he has a pro-hunter barrel with it.
