Opinions on Bergara barrels

I am wanting a muzzleloader barrel for my Encore are Bergara barrels worth having accuracy wise?
Thanks for any input

I,ve had an encore for about 6 years. The TC .260 barrel and 209 x 50 muzzleloader barrels shot extremely well right off the start. This summer anticipating an elk hunt I added a 30-06 stainless Bergara. I re-load for many of my firearms so I purchased the cheap Winchester 180 gr. power points for the brass. The power points shot horribly 3" groups. Handloading for it was frustrating till I narrowed my load down to 180 gr. speer hotcore bullets on top of 56 gr of IMR 4350 powder at factory velocity of 2700 fps. This is my final loading and shoots moa consistently. Had great performance on two whitetails in November. One at 180 paces and one at 75 with little meat damage.
The Bergara seems to be a quality barrel and perfect fit but I feel the TC barrels may be more accurate right out of the box, meaning that the Bergara may need more breaking in.

I wouldn't buy one.

I have a Bergara 270 barrel that shoots MOA with Remington Corelockts.

I have three Bergara barrels and am completely satisfied with the accuracy, fit, and finish of each.
Purist I ain't. Practical I am. I'd buy another without hesitation. However, none of the three are muzzle loaders.

I recently bought a 24" SS .243 barrel from Natchez for $190. I was skeptical at first, but after a trip to the range I was very impressed. Through a range of powder and bullet combos (20 to be exact), the best 5-shot group was .8", the worst was 1.2". After 50 rds, very minimal copper fouling was a testament to the nicely polished bore. I've bought 2 more barrels since and now have 3 total. I'm very happy with the Bergara barrels and I do recommend them. My Bergara barrels have been slightly more accurate and copper foul much less than my TC barrels. The prices from Natchez are ridiculously low right now. 

Keep in mind Bergara makes the barrel for the CVA Electra, which has proven to be just as accurate as the TC's. I bought an Endeavor barrel a couple months ago and like it a lot, but I could buy TWO Bergaras for the same money!

Thanks for the responses.
