The Pro Hunter Flex Tech forearm fits the 26" and 28" factory barrels (and if you don't mind a bit of a gap, the 24" factory barrels as well).  I think the custom shop calls the profile that fits them "Heavy Tapered".

Hope this helps!

I bought my Encore as frame and stock (walnut and Blue) only at Cabela's in Sydney, NE. about 1 1/2 yrs ago, and the guy at the gun counter told me any Encore rifle barrel would fit the forearm.  I only have two barrels so far, a TC ProHunter 204Ruger and an EABCO Accuracy barrel,  and the fit is beautiful on both of them.
