All my Encore barrels I have are accurate right out of the box. I just had to fine tune my hand loads to make tack drivers out of them.
If  you're going to make a hole, make it a big one.

Some barrels shoot some are dogs, if you buy the factory ones. Float the front handguard on a couple of washers.
