Encore Rilfe Blows Up

[Jay HHI6818]

Has anyone seen this? Sure glad the fellow wasn't hurt any worse.

I wonder who maunfactured the barrel and if the 257 STW chambering had anything to do with it exploding. I know Bullberry won't chamber it.

Important Message from Fred

Please let me inform all potential customers that the following calibers are not on our list of calibers, so there is no sense asking "please" and "why". No WSMs, nor Ultras, nor STWs, nor Wbys (outside the smaller 240 Wby). These are calibers that are not applicable to our Encore
