Encore barrels
« on: August 05, 2004, 12:27:51 PM »
I bought a used Encore frame and would like to get a rifle barrel, stock and forend in .204 Ruger.  I'm interested in as accurate a rifle as I can get without spending a fortune.  Any advice between T/C, Fox Ridge, and
Bullberry?  Bullberry guarantees 1MOA but it's with their own hangar-forend system, which means that any future barrels would also have to come from them, or else buy another forend.  Anybody using E. A. Brown's products--barrels and wood-- for T/C and can advise on how good they are?   Thanks for any help.

I use EA Brown a lot. :grin:  I have a Encore HBV 26" stainless 223 EAB barrel in thier custom walnut thumbhole set up. It is beautiful and shoots sub 1/2MOA all day with Federal MilSpec or my Varget handloads.  :shock: EABrown service is also exceptional to this point. I have 3 purchases from them and will again. Topgun! :D

I would go with a factory barrel.  I have a pile of them in a bunch of different calibers and have no complaints.

Without going custom, I would recommend EABrown. You're getting A T/C product at reasonable prices, fair enough shipping charges and  from what I've seen, good service. Good luck.
Also on A side note, I just had yet another fully satisfying  interaction with the T/C service dept. I wish all company's were as helpful and pleasant to deal with.  Not as if you all didn't already know this. :D

I recommend you check with Ed's TC before ordering a barrel from someone else.

Ed's prices are usually better, and his service is wonderful.
